<p>To rapidly dry ink deposited on a medium in an inkjet printer using a wave guide. In an inkjet printer in which ink deposited on a medium is dried with microwaves supplied into a wave guide, a reflection termination member 50 capable of conducting reflection termination treatment of microwaves supplied into the wave guide is disposed on a termination section 37 arranged at the terminal end side of the wave guide. As microwaves are supplied from a magnetron 43 into the wave guide, the microwaves are propagated through the wave guide, are then reflected by the reflection termination member 50 in the termination section 37, and are propagated again through the wave guide in the opposite direction. Accordingly, the ink deposited on the medium is dried with the microwaves reflected by the reflection termination member 50 in addition to the microwaves directly supplied from the magnetron inside the wave guide, thereby rapidly drying the ink.</p> |
