Provided is a medium processing apparatus, comprising: transport unit configured to transport a medium, a drying device configured to heat the medium, a temperature sensor configured to detect a surface temperature of the medium in a heated area, the heated area being heated by the drying device, and a control unit configured to control the drying device based on the surface temperature detected by the temperature sensor. The control unit start a warm-up operation controlling the heating unit to increase the surface temperature of the medium to a predefined temperature range, and controls transport of the medium during the warm-up operation so that the medium is within a predefined range where the medium is located in a detection area of the temperature sensor.

Medium processing apparatus, and method of controlling the medium processing apparatus

A recording apparatus includes a recording head that ejects fluid onto a recording medium, a transport device that transports the recording medium along a support surface, and a heating device that heats the recording medium. The heating device is provided with plural first heating units in a direction crossing the transport direction in a state where a side of the first heating unit is parallel with the transport direction, and a second heating unit which extends in the transport direction at a boundary region which is present between the neighboring first heating units.

Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus includes: a holding unit that holds a liquid receptacle containing a liquid; a recording head that ejects, onto a recording medium, the liquid supplied from the liquid receptacle held by the holding unit; a heating unit that heats the recording medium; and a suction unit that includes a suction port for sucking air to the heating unit. Here, the suction port is disposed in a location that enables the atmosphere around the liquid receptacle to be sucked.
