    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a head, a detector, and circuitry. The head forms an image on a recording medium. The detector detects a vertical movement of the recording medium and a distance to the recording medium in a vertical direction. The detector includes an optical sensor to project light to the recording medium and receive the light reflected from the recording medium. The circuitry sets a first area based on a result of detection performed by the detector. The first area is an area in which the recording medium and the head collide with each other. The circuitry retracts the head to prevent the recording medium and the head from colliding with each other, in a case where a position of the head is in the first area.

    摘要: A three-dimensional object printing apparatus includes a liquid discharge head having a nozzle surface provided with a nozzle array including a plurality of nozzles for discharging a liquid, a moving mechanism that changes a position of the liquid discharge head with respect to a three-dimensional workpiece, and a sensor that detects a positional relationship of the liquid discharge head with respect to the workpiece, in which when an axis parallel to a normal line of the nozzle surface is set as a first axis, an axis parallel to the nozzle surface and intersecting an extending direction of the nozzle array is set as a second axis, and an axis that intersects both the first axis and the second axis is set as a third axis, the sensor detects a relative positional relationship of the liquid discharge head with respect to the workpiece in a direction along the third axis.
