Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus includes a head including a supply path and a discharge path circulating a liquid in a liquid circulation direction, the head configured to discharge the liquid, a circulation path coupled to the head, the liquid circulates through the head in the circulation path, a bypass coupled to a downstream end of the supply path of the head and an upstream end of the discharge path of the head in the liquid circulation direction, a pressure generator configured to generate and apply a circulation pressure to the liquid circulating through the circulation path, and a deaerator configured to remove gas in the liquid circulating the circulation path.

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.

Abstract: A coating device includes a coating roller configured to rotate in a rotation direction to apply a treatment liquid onto a sheet at an application position, and a contacting member in contact with a peripheral surface of the coating roller at a position downstream of the application position in the rotation direction.

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.

Abstract: A drying device includes a drum, a contact conveyance roller, and a cooling device. The drum heats a continuous medium while conveying the continuous medium. The continuous medium is wound around a circumferential surface of the drum. The contact conveyance roller contacts the drum at a downstream end of a portion of the continuous medium wound around the circumferential surface of the drum in a conveyance direction of the continuous medium. Further, the contact conveyance roller conveys the continuous medium separated from the drum. The continuous medium is wound around the contact conveyance roller. The cooling device cools the contact conveyance roller.
