Abstract
A heater control device is a heater control device which controls a heater that heats ink supplied from an ink container storing the ink to a recording head, and includes a control portion. The control portion controls, when the heater is in an operation state, the heater at a first output, and executes, when the heater is switched from a non-operation state to the operation state, output augmentation control for controlling the heater at a second output larger than the first output until a predetermined time elapses since the switch.
