20130249992 | IMAGE RECORDING DEVICE AND IMAGE RECORDING METHOD - An image recording device includes a support member, a recording head, a surface modifying apparatus, a conveyor unit, and a control unit. The surface modifying apparatus executes surface modification processing to modify a surface of the recording medium at a processing position disposed on an upstream side of the support member. The conveyor unit intermittently passes the recording medium through the processing position at a prescribed passage velocity by feeding the recording medium from the upstream side of the conveyance path to the processing position. The control unit is capable of providing a processing execution signal to the surface modifying apparatus, and provides the processing execution signal to the surface modifying apparatus for a prescribed time within a wait time from when passage of the recording medium through the processing position stops until the recording medium starts passing through the processing position at the prescribed passage velocity. | 09-26-2013 |
20130258014 | IMAGE RECORDING DEVICE AND IMAGE RECORDING METHOD - An image recording device includes a support member, a recording head, a conveyor unit, a surface modifying apparatus and a movement mechanism. The conveyor unit intermittently conveys a recording medium toward a support member along a conveyance path, and intermittently passes the recording medium through a processing position disposed on an upstream side of the supporting member with respect to the conveyance path. The surface modifying apparatus, during a passage time in which the recording medium passes through the processing position, executes surface modification processing on the recording medium passing through the processing position, and emits heat along with execution of the surface modification process. The movement mechanism places the recording medium passing through the processing position near the surface modifying apparatus during the processing time, and separates the recording medium and the surface modifying apparatus when the passage time ends. | 10-03-2013 |
