Abstract
A liquid application unit includes a supply member, a liquid application device, and an application controller. The supply member includes a cylindrical or columnar winding core around which a linear medium is wound. The liquid application device applies liquid to the linear medium unwound and fed from the supply member. The application controller adjusts a liquid application length of the liquid applied by the liquid application unit to the linear medium in a feed direction of the linear medium. The application controller adjusts the liquid application length in the feed direction of the linear medium in accordance with a winding thickness of a remaining amount of the linear medium from an outer peripheral surface of the winding core.
