Liquid application unit for linear medium, liquid application apparatus, dyeing embroidery system, control method, and storage medium

A control method for a liquid application apparatus that includes:

• a supply member including a cylindrical or columnar winding core around which a linear medium is wound;
• and a liquid application device configured to apply liquid to the linear medium unwound and fed from the supply member, the control method comprising:
• detecting or calculating a winding thickness of a remaining amount of the linear medium from an outer peripheral surface of the winding core;
• adjusting a liquid application length of the liquid applied by the liquid application device to the linear medium in a feed direction of the linear medium in accordance with the winding thickness of the remaining amount of the linear medium;
• and
• applying, by the liquid application device, the liquid to the linear medium being fed at the liquid application length adjusted in the feed direction.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program code for causing an information processing apparatus to execute control of a liquid application apparatus that includes:

• a supply member including a cylindrical or columnar winding core around which a linear medium is wound;
• and a liquid application device configured to apply liquid to the linear medium unwound and fed from the supply member, the control comprising:
• detecting or calculating a winding thickness of a remaining amount of the linear medium from an outer peripheral surface of the winding core;
• adjusting a liquid application length of the liquid applied by the liquid application device to the linear medium in a feed direction of the linear medium in accordance with the winding thickness of the remaining amount of the linear medium;
• and
• applying, by the liquid application device, the liquid to the linear medium being fed at the liquid application length adjusted in the feed direction.
