A fixing unit includes: a heating roller; a pressing roller that is capable of being in pressure contact with the heating roller; a compressor that generates compressed air; an air tank that reserves therein the compressed air; a first pipe through which the compressed air generated by the compressor is fed into the air tank; an injection nozzle that is formed by the heating roller and the pressing roller and that causes the compressed air to blow a printing medium fed from the fixing nip; a second pipe through which the compressed air reserved in the air tank is fed into the injection nozzle; and a compressed air injection solenoid valve that is provided in middle of the second pipe. A droplet separator for separating a droplet from the compressed air is provided to the first pipe or to the second pipe.
