• and
• a heating unit disposed on a downstream side in a feed direction of the recording medium with respect to the device main body, the heating unit having a medium passage, a heat generator, and an air passage provided independently of the medium passage,
• the medium passage being configured and arranged to pass the recording medium after printing therethrough,
• the heat generator being disposed between the medium passage and the air passage in a sectional view of the heating unit to heat the recording medium after printing with heat generated by the heat generator, and
• the air passage having an air aspirating port that is connected with the medium passage so as to aspirate air in the medium passage and an air discharging port that is provided in a position different from the air aspirating port so as to discharge air aspirated through the air aspirating port, with the air aspirating port being located on an upstream side in a feed direction of the recording medium with respect to the air discharging port.
