Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device in which air flow between a photoreceptor and a fixing unit is increased.SOLUTION: The image forming device 10 includes a shutter member 38 that can move between a first position to cover the photoreceptor 36 and a second position which is a retracted position between the photoreceptor 36 and a fixing unit 50, an air intake part 60 for generating a first air flow between the shutter member 38 and the photoreceptor 36, an exhaust part 100 for generating a second air flow between the shutter member 38 and the fixing unit 50, and a regulation member 120 for suppressing air flow flowing between the shutter member 38 and an air intake port 103. When the air intake part 60 and the exhaust part 100 respectively perform air intake and exhaust, the regulation member 120 suppresses air flow flowing between the shutter member 38 and the air intake port 103, consequently a flow rate between the photoreceptor 36 and a fixing unit 50 increases.
