  • Image forming apparatus
    Patent number: 11548295
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, a rotatable conveying member, and a suction device. The image forming device forms an image on a continuous recording medium. The conveying member has a hollow drum shape. The conveying member conveys the continuous recording medium. The suction device is disposed inside the hollow drum shape of the conveying member. The suction device sucks the continuous recording medium through the conveying member in a fixed region in which the continuous recording medium and the conveying member are in contact with each other.

  • Device and liquid discharge apparatus
    Patent number: 11370230
    Abstract: A device includes a temperature control member and a linearly-contact member. The temperature control member has an outer peripheral surface to contact a conveyed substrate to which liquid is applied, and heats or cools the substrate. The linearly-contact member contacts the substrate and the temperature control member on an upstream side from a contact position between the substrate and the temperature control member in a conveyance direction of the substrate.
