Original Abstract Submitted

an image forming apparatus includes a first rotatable member, a second rotatable member, an air nozzle, and a pipe. the pipe includes a portion provided in a range overlapping with the first rotatable member and making one reciprocation or more in a case that when a direction crossing a feeding direction of a recording material fed in a nip is a widthwise direction of the first rotatable member, the pipe is viewed in a direction perpendicular to the widthwise direction.
