Abstract:
1. An inkjet recording device which ejects ink to perform recording on a recording medium, the inkjet recording device comprising: an image forming drum which holds the recording medium on an outer peripheral surface thereof; a recording medium supplying section which supplies the recording medium to the image forming drum; a recording head which ejects the ink onto the recording medium supplied to the image forming drum to perform image formation; a first heating unit which heats the recording medium held on the image forming drum, the first heating unit heating the recording medium before the recording is performed thereon by the recording head; a second heating unit which heats the outer peripheral surface of the image forming drum downstream of the position at which the recording medium is outputted after the recording is performed on the recording medium by the recording head and upstream of the recording medium supplying section in a rotation direction of the image forming drum; a heating-unit temperature detector which detects the temperature of the first heating unit; a drum temperature detector which detects the temperature of the image forming drum; and a heating control section which controls each of the first heating unit and the second heating unit, wherein the heating control section performs heat control of the first heating unit such that the temperature detected by the heating-unit temperature detector falls within a predetermined range of heating-unit set temperature; and wherein the heating control section performs heat control of the second heating unit such that the temperature detected by the drum temperature detector falls within a predetermined range of image-forming-drum set temperature.
