The present application is based on, and claims priority from JP Application Serial Number 2019-095676, filed May 22, 2019, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a printing apparatus.

2. Related Art

In the related art, in a printing apparatus that forms an image by discharging a liquid to a medium, a technique of heating a medium to which the liquid discharged by the printing apparatus adheres and evaporating the water content of the liquid that has adhered to the medium is known. For example, JP-A-2017-132174 describes a technique of heating a medium to which a liquid has adhered using a heater.

In the technique of the related art, it becomes necessary to continue heating the medium by the heater during a printing period in which the printing apparatus continues the print processing of forming an image by discharging a liquid onto the medium. Therefore, in the technique of the related art, when the printing period prolongs, there is a case where the electric power required for heating the medium by the heater increases.

SUMMARY

According to an aspect of the disclosure, there is provided a printing apparatus including: a transport section that transports a medium in a first direction; a discharge section that discharges a liquid to the medium transported by the transport section; a signal generation section that outputs a first pulse signal; and a heating section that is provided downstream of the discharge section in the first direction, includes a first heater that generates heat in accordance with a first pulse included in the first pulse signal, and heats the medium, and in which the signal generation section adjusts the first pulse in accordance with a heating amount for heating the medium by the heating section.
