Abstract
A conveyance control device is configured to control conveyance of a sheet-shaped recording medium onto which a liquid is discharged by a liquid discharge device. The conveyance control device includes a conveyance driving roller, a non-contact conveyor, and processing circuitry. The conveyance driving roller is configured to control a conveyance speed of the recording medium. The non-contact conveyor includes a non-contact conveyance roller that constitutes part of a conveyance path of the recording medium. The non-contact conveyance roller has an outer peripheral surface in a non-contact state with the recording medium during conveyance of the recording medium. The processing circuitry is configured to control at least one of an operation of the conveyance driving roller and an operation of the non-contact conveyance roller such that a speed of the outer peripheral surface of the non-contact conveyance roller becomes a prescribed speed faster than the conveyance speed of the recording medium.
