An application apparatus includes: a medium conveying device (34) which holds and conveys a medium (14) in a predetermined conveyance direction; an application roller (210) which applies a liquid to the medium (14) held by the medium conveying device (34); an application roller rotating device (30) which rotates the application roller (210) at a predetermined rotational speed; a measuring roller (216) which feeds a predetermined measured amount of the liquid to the application roller (210); a measuring roller rotating device (30) which rotates the measuring roller (216) at a predetermined rotational speed; a first moving device (212) which causes relative movement between the application roller (210) and the medium conveying device (34) to change a distance between the application roller (210) and the medium conveying device (34); a second moving device (218) which causes relative movement between the application roller (210) and the measuring roller (216) to change a distance between the application roller (210) and the measuring roller (216); and a movement controlling device (160) which controls the second moving device (218) in such a manner that, when the application roller (210) and the medium (14) are brought into abutment with each other from a state in which the application roller (210) and the medium (14) are separated from each other, a front end part (14A) of the medium (14) in terms of the conveyance direction abuts with an abutment position on a circumferential surface of the application roller (210) when the application roller (210) and the measuring roller (216) are brought into abutment with each other from a state in which the application roller (210) and the measuring roller (216) are separated from each other. |
