    摘要: A conveyor for printer includes, a first guide, a second guide disposed separately from the first guide, a third guide disposed between the first guide and the second guide, the first guide, the second guide, and the third guide defining a conveyance path along which a medium is conveyed, and a loading guide movable to guide the medium between the first guide and the second guide. The third guide is movable between a first position and a second position. The third guide presses the medium to the first guide and the second guide at the first position and is separated from the medium at the second position. The loading guide is disposed at a guiding position to guide the medium and is disposed at a retracted position retracted from the guiding position in response to the third guide disposed at the first position.

    摘要: A drying device includes a roller, and the drying device is for drying a recording medium conveyed by rotation of the roller. The drying device includes a first heating source and second heating source included inside the roller; first and second temperature detectors for respectively detecting a temperature of a first region on a surface of the roller and a temperature of a second region on the surface of the roller; and a heating controller that controls heating and termination of the heating by the first heating source and/or the second heating source, wherein, upon detecting that a temperature of one region of the first region and the second region is higher than or equal to a predetermined temperature, the heating controller terminates heating by one heating source corresponding to the other region.

    摘要: A drying device for drying a recording medium is provided. The drying device includes a plurality of heating roller units independently detachable from the drying device. The heating roller units includes at least one upstream heating roller unit disposed upstream relative to a conveyance direction of the recording medium and at least two downstream heating roller units disposed downstream relative to the conveyance direction of the recording medium. Each upstream heating roller unit includes an upstream heating roller, two upstream temperature detectors, and two upstream controllers. The upstream heating roller includes two upstream heat sources having different heating areas. The two upstream temperature detectors are disposed at respective end parts of the upstream heating roller, to detect temperatures of the respective upstream heat sources to output signals. The two upstream controllers control the respective upstream heat sources based on the respective signals from the respective upstream temperature detectors.

    摘要: A heating device includes a heater to heat an object to be heated, a temperature detector to detect a surface temperature of the heater, a power calculator to calculate a power consumption of the heater, an abnormality detector to detect an abnormality of the temperature detector, and circuitry to cause the heater to increase the surface temperature of the heater from a first temperature to a second temperature higher than the first temperature; cause the power calculator to calculate the power consumption of the heater increased to the second temperature; cause the abnormality detector to compare the power consumption calculated by the power calculator and a predetermined threshold value; and cause the abnormality detector to determine that the temperature detector is abnormal when the power consumption calculated by the power calculator is equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold value.
