Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a first fan and a second fan that are configured to generate air in a main body of the apparatus, a controller configured to control operations of the fans, and a detector configured to detect a malfunction of a first fan. When the detector detects the malfunction of the first fan, the controller increases a voltage applied to the second fan as compared with that before the malfunction is detected.
