Original Abstract Submitted

a drying apparatus includes a conveying device, a heating device, a conveying rollers pair, a driving roller rotation detection part, a driven roller rotation detection part, and a control part. the conveying device conveys a medium in a conveyance direction. the heating device dries the ink of the medium under a high temperature environment. the conveying rollers pair is disposed on a downstream side of the heating device, and includes a driving roller and a driven roller. the driving roller rotation detection part detects a rotating of the driving roller. the driven roller rotation detection part detects a rotating of the driven roller. the control part stops the heating device when the rotating of the driving roller is detected by the driving roller rotation detection part and a rotation period obtained by a detection result of the driven roller rotation detection part is longer than a reference rotation period.
