Abstract
In a feeding direction of a recording material, a recording material cooling device is provided downstream of a fixing device, a curl reducing device is provided downstream of the recording material cooling device, and another recording material cooling device is provided downstream of the curl reducing device. By this configuration, occurrence of image defect by the recording material cooling device during the feeding of the recording material can be suppressed, and the curling of the recording material can be reduced after the recording material is cooled.
