Abstract
A recording medium support device includes a recording medium support, a holder, and a support heater. The recording medium support supports a recording medium on which liquid is discharged. The holder holds the recording medium support, the holder including an air chamber and a duct. The support heater heats the recording medium support. A linear expansion coefficient of a bottom surface of the air chamber or a bottom surface of the duct away from the recording medium support is larger than a linear expansion coefficient of the recording medium support.
