Abstract
A control unit performs stop control for stopping an interference detection unit to stop at a stop position when the interference detection unit detects interference as a result of performing first movement control for moving the interference detection unit to one side in a second direction, and performs second movement control for moving the interference detection unit to a predetermined position to the other side opposite to the one side in the second direction. The control unit performs the second movement control, and then performs third movement control for moving the interference detection unit to the one side again. The control unit performs adjustment control for causing a position adjustment unit to perform adjustment so that an interval between a head and a support surface is increased between the stop control and the third movement control.
