Abstract
A sheet drying apparatus includes a conveyance portion, a drying portion, a main body frame accommodating the conveyance portion and the drying portion, an exterior cover attached to the main body frame, an inner cover, a locking mechanism, a temperature sensor, and a control portion. The drying portion is arranged opposite the conveyance portion and heats and dries a sheet on which an image has been formed with ink containing moisture. The inner cover can be opened and closed between the exterior cover and the drying portion. The locking mechanism locks the inner cover in a closed state. The temperature sensor senses the temperature in the drying portion. The control portion makes the locking mechanism lock the inner cover in the closed state until the temperature in the drying portion sensed by the temperature sensor falls below a first temperature.
