Abstract:
1. A liquid discharging apparatus comprising: a head that discharges a liquid onto a medium; a medium supporting portion that supports the medium; a heater that heats the medium supported by the medium supporting portion; a detecting unit that performs sensing and detects energy; and a control unit that controls radiation energy of the heater on the basis of the energy detected by the detecting unit, wherein the medium supporting portion is provided with a sensing target portion that is sensed by the detecting unit when the medium is not present, and wherein an emissivity of the sensing target portion is between 0.7 and 1, wherein the medium supporting portion is provided with a non-sensing target portion that is not sensed by the detecting unit, and wherein a gap is provided between the sensing target portion and the non-sensing target portion.
