A connector, such as but not limited to a coaxial female F-connector, has an integral surge protector. In the image forming apparatus, a control section sets, on the basis of an individual difference of a separation fan motor, a fan motor drive condition for a sheet passing period in which the sheet passes through a nip portion N, and the control section maintains the fan motor drive condition thus set throughout the sheet passing period. The read word line and the first read bit line are connected with each other via the first drive transistor. The supporting structure module includes a first supporting structure, and the first supporting structure includes a first bracket and a first hinge cover.
