Abstract
There is provided a drying device. Laser elements control energies of laser beams to be radiated, and radiates laser beams onto predetermined regions of an image, respectively. A controller controls average irradiation energy of laser beams by calculating printing rates for plural types of divided patterns with respect to the regions of the image, and calculating energy required to dry, for each divided pattern, based on the printing rates calculated for individual divided patterns, and selecting energy to be adopted according to a purpose, from the energy calculated for the individual divided patterns.
