Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the printing device described in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that the device becomes large in order to separate the recording medium from the heater, and it is difficult to achieve cost reduction and compactness.
Moreover, there is also a problem that since the heater is reheated from the stopped state in order to restart printing, it is necessary to wait for printing until the heater is reheated to the temperature at the time of printing, which will deteriorate the printing effect. Difference

Abstract

The present invention provides a printing apparatus capable of inhibiting bad conditions caused by excessive heating of mediums in a drying portion and achieving low cost and compaction and a printingmethod of the printing device. The printing apparatus (100) includes a drying unit that includes a bring-in port (27) where a medium (7) is brought in and a bring-out port (28) where the medium (7) is brought out, and dries ink applied onto the medium (7), and in a case in which printing is temporarily stopped and a predetermined maintenance work is performed, the medium is transported in a transporting direction which is a direction toward the bring-out port (28) from the bring-in port (27) in a maintenance work period from starting of the maintenance work to finishing of the maintenance work or in a partial period of the maintenance work period.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a printing device and a printing method of the printing device. Background technique [0002] A printing apparatus is known that includes a drying device such as a heater in order to promote drying and fixing of ink jetted on a recording medium (medium) (for example, Patent Document 1). The printing device described in Patent Document 1 has a heater as a drying device, and in order to prevent excessive heating of the medium by the heater, the recording medium is separated from the heater and the heater is stopped when printing is stopped. [0003] However, in the printing apparatus described in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that the apparatus becomes large in order to separate the recording medium from the heater, and it is difficult to achieve cost reduction and compactness. Moreover, there is also a problem that since the heater is reheated from the stopped state in order to restart printing, it is necessary to wait ...
