The present invention simplifies the equipment in an on-machine coater in which a size press and a post-metering style of coater are alternatively used. In an on-machine coater including a size press 3, an air turn 4 arranged diagonally downward on the downstream side of the size press 3, a post-metering style of coater 6 arranged in the downstream side of the air turn 4, and non-contact dryers 11 arranged above the coater 6, when the coating is performed using the size press 3 the two surfaces of a web A are dried by a pair of the non-contact dryers 11 opposingly provided about the diagonally upward-moving web A on the downstream side of the air turn 4. When the coating is performed using the post-metering style of coater 6, the dryer of the pair of non-contact dryers 11 used to dry the lower surface side of the web A is moved in such a way as to oppose the lower surface side of the web A which, beyond the coater 6, moves upward.
