Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of minimizing a temperature rise of a cover is disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a main body, a fusing unit mounted in the main body to fuse an image to paper, a cover mounted to the main body to expose the fusing unit, a heat shielding member mounted proximate to an inner side of the cover to block heat transferred from the fusing unit, an external air circulation chamber formed between the heat shielding member and the cover, in which external air circulates by convection, and at least one external air flow hole, through which the air flows into/out of the external air circulation chamber.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of minimizing a temperature rise of a cover by substantially preventing heat emission from a fusing device to an outside is disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a main body, a fusing device mounted in the main body, the fusing device having an outlet to discharge paper, an opening/closing member opening and closing the outlet of the fusing device, a cam member moving the opening/closing member between a first position in which the opening/closing member closes the outlet to prevent heat in the fusing device from being emitted through the outlet and a second position in which the opening/closing member opens the outlet to permit the paper to pass through the outlet, a driving part rotating the cam member, and a control unit controlling the driving part to determine a rotational position of the cam member.
