Abstract

An external cooling deviceis connectable to an image forming apparatus. The external cooling deviceimproves cooling power of a recording material S after toner image fixation. In this case, even when a heating amount of the fixing deviceis increased, a temperature of the recording material S stacked on a stacking unitcan be lowered to not more than a predetermined temperature at which sticking does not occur. Further, the number of sheets stackable on said stacking unitcan be increased. By this, a user is capable of adjusting glossiness without concern for the sticking of the recording materials S on the stacking unit. Further, the user is not required to frequently carry out the recording material S of the stacking unit. That is, it is possible to provide an image forming systemX capable of flexibly meeting the recording materials S of various kinds.
