Abstract:
1. An inkjet printer comprising: an ejector configured to eject ink toward a medium; a wave guide through which the medium with the ink ejected by said ejector is inserted; an electromagnetic wave supplier disposed at a start end of said wave guide to supply electromagnetic waves to said wave guide; and a reflector disposed at a terminal end of said wave guide to reflect the electromagnetic waves delivered by said wave guide in a first direction, said reflector comprising a reflection termination member to conduct reflection termination treatment of the electromagnetic waves supplied by said electromagnetic wave supplier, the reflection termination member having a reflective end surface and a side surface, the reflective end surface being provided to reflect, in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the electromagnetic waves delivered by said wave guide in the first direction, the side surface extending from the reflective end surface in the first direction and facing an inner wall of said wave guide to form a first space between the side surface of the reflection termination member and the inner wall of said wave guide, the first space having a length from the reflective end surface in the first direction, the length of the first space being ¼ of a wave length of the electromagnetic waves supplied into said wave guide.
