Abstract
Provided is an ink jet printer including: an electromagnetic wave generator that includes an electromagnetic wave generation section, a high-frequency voltage generation section generating a voltage applied to the electromagnetic wave generation section, and a transmission line coupling the electromagnetic wave generation section and the high-frequency voltage generation section to each other in which the electromagnetic wave generation section includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a first conductor that couples the first electrode and the transmission line to each other, and a second conductor that couples the second electrode and the transmission line to each other, a minimum separation distance between the first conductor and the second conductor is 1/10 or less of a wavelength of an output electromagnetic wave, and the first conductor includes a coil, and the coil is disposed at a position closer to the first electrode than the transmission line; a carriage that reciprocates in a width direction of a recording medium; and an ink jet head, in which a thin ink film of the ink discharged from the ink jet head and attached to the recording medium is dried by the electromagnetic wave generator.
