Claim:
1. A liquid discharge apparatus comprising: a liquid discharge head that discharges liquid; a conveying section that supports and conveys a medium to which the liquid discharged from the liquid discharge head is to be applied; a blower unit that is disposed on the upstream side of the liquid discharge head in a medium conveying direction or the downstream side of the liquid discharge head in the medium conveying direction, and suppresses the change of the posture of the medium by sending the air to the medium conveyed by the conveying section; a temperature adjusting section that is disposed on the upstream side of the blower unit in the medium conveying direction in a case in which the blower unit is disposed on the upstream side of the liquid discharge head in the medium conveying direction or is disposed on the downstream side of the blower unit in the medium conveying direction in a case in which the blower unit is disposed on the downstream side of the liquid discharge head in the medium conveying direction, and adjusts the temperature of an object, of which the temperature is to be adjusted, to a temperature higher than the ambient temperature of the liquid discharge head or a temperature lower than the ambient temperature of a discharge surface of the liquid discharge head; and a blast control section that controls the operation of the blower unit, wherein the blast control section sends an operation stop command, which stops an operation, or an air reduction command, which reduces the amount of the air to be sent, to the blower unit at a blast region-pass timing at which the medium, to which the air is sent from the blower unit, passes through a blast region of the blower unit.
