A liquid discharge apparatus includes: a head, a radiation unit, a movement mechanism, and a controller. The controller is configured to: acquire a radiation distance for each of a plurality of areas defined on a surface of a recording medium; control the movement mechanism and the head to discharge the liquid to the surface of the recording medium; and control the radiation unit to radiate the light onto the plurality of the areas of the recording medium so that the longer the radiation distance for each of the plurality of areas, the stronger a light emission intensity of each of the plurality of light sources which faces each of the plurality of areas in the first direction.

Liquid discharge apparatus

A heating device includes: an alternating current (AC) power supply line configured to supply AC current from an AC power supply; a heat generation unit configured to generate heat in accordance with the AC current; an energization regulation unit configured to regulate energization time of the AC current to the heat generation unit; a switching unit configured to switch a connection state between the AC power supply and the heat generation unit; and a high-voltage protection unit, which is connected between the AC power supply line at a rear stage of the switching unit, and which is configured to protect the energization regulation unit against an abnormal input high voltage.
