Abstract
A droplet discharging device includes a head including a nozzle configured to discharge a droplet onto a medium, a heater configured to heat, the medium onto which the droplet is discharged from the head, at a position opposing to the head, an air blowing fan configured to blow outside air from an outside toward an inside of a housing that accommodates the head and the heater, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the outside air blown by the air blowing fan, and a control unit, and when the temperature of the outside air detected by the temperature sensor is lower than a preset temperature, the control unit changes a set temperature of the heater to a temperature lower than a predetermined temperature.
Claims6
A droplet discharging device comprising:
- a head including a nozzle configured to discharge a droplet onto a medium,
- a heater configured to heat the medium onto which the droplet is discharged from the head, the heater being disposed at a position opposing to the head and below the medium,
- an air blowing fan configured to blow outside air from an outside toward an inside of a housing that accommodates the head and the heater,
- a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the outside air blown by the air blowing fan,
- a humidity sensor configured to detect a humidity of the outside air blown by the air blowing fan, and
- a control unit, wherein
- when the temperature of the outside air detected by the temperature sensor is lower than a preset temperature, the control unit changes a set temperature of the heater to a temperature lower than a predetermined temperature, and
- when the humidity of the outside air detected by the humidity sensor is different from a preset humidity, the control unit further changes a set temperature of the heater.

- a heater configured to heat the medium onto which the droplet is discharged from the head, the heater being disposed at a position opposing to the head and below the medium,
- an air blowing fan configured to blow outside air from an outside toward an inside of a housing that accommodates the head and the heater,
- a humidity sensor configured to detect a relative humidity of the outside air blown by the air blowing fan, and
- a control unit, wherein
- when the relative humidity of the outside air detected by the humidity sensor is lower than a preset relative humidity, a set temperature of the heater is changed to a temperature lower than a predetermined temperature.
