Liquid ejection apparatus and method of drying recording medium for the same

摘要

A liquid ejection apparatus includes: a liquid ejection head that ejects a liquid onto a recording medium; a drying device that dries the recording medium; a sheet discharged tray including a sheet placed face; a sheet discharging device that discharges the recording medium to a space over the sheet placed face; a stopper that causes the recording medium discharged by the sheet discharging device to collide with the stopper; an obtaining device that obtains a height of the plurality of recording media stacked on the sheet placed face; and a controller that controls the drying device so that a degree of drying of the recording medium becomes larger in a case in which the height obtained by the obtaining device is equal to or more than a set specific value, than in a case in which the height is less than the set specific value.

主权项

1. A liquid ejection apparatus comprising:
a liquid ejection head configured to eject a liquid onto a recording medium so as to record an image on the recording medium; a drying device configured to dry the recording medium on which the image has been recorded by the liquid ejection head; a sheet discharged tray including a sheet placed face on which a plurality of recording media on which the image has been recorded by the liquid ejection head are placed and stacked; a sheet discharging device configured to discharge the recording medium on which the image has been recorded by the liquid ejection head to a space over the sheet placed face of the sheet discharged tray in a sheets-stacked direction in which the plurality of recording media are stacked; a stopper configured to cause the recording medium discharged by the sheet discharging device to the space over the sheet placed face in the sheets-stacking direction to collide with the stopper and to drop toward the sheet placed face; an obtaining device configured to obtain a height of the plurality of recording media stacked on the sheet placed face of the sheet discharged tray; and a controller configured to control the drying device so that a degree of drying of the recording medium on which the image has been recorded becomes larger in a case in which the height obtained by the obtaining device is equal to or more than a set specific value, than in a case in which the height is less than the set specific value.
