US 2013/0278669 A1 · DRAWING DEVICE AND ERROR PROCESSING METHOD

Abstract

A drawing device includes a recording head that discharges ink which cures when receiving irradiation light; a transport device that transports a sheet coated with the ink discharged from the recording head, along a transport path that faces the recording head; a gap sensor that is provided further upstream along the transport path than the recording head, and detects an error with respect to a gap between the sheet and recording head; a light irradiation device which is provided further downstream along the transport path than the recording head, and irradiates the ink coated on the sheet with light; and an advancing/retracting device which retracts the recording head to a position away from the transport path.
