A dryer includes a plurality of transport rollers, turn bars, and a heater. Some of the transport rollers support the continuous base material transported in the +Y direction in a first position in the Z direction. Some of the transport rollers support the continuous base material transported in the −Y direction in a second position in the Z direction. The turn bars support the continuous base material in a third position in the Z direction while bending the continuous base material so that the continuous base material is transported in the −X direction. The heater is capable of heating part of the continuous base material in a position on the transport path TR between the transport rollers and the turn bars. The transport rollers and the turn bars are located on the second surface side of the continuous base material.
