Description

Recording system and drying device Technical Field The present invention relates to a recording system including a recording device that performs recording so that a liquid adheres to a recording medium and a drying device that dries the recording medium with the liquid adhering thereto, and the drying device. Background The medium processing apparatus described in patent document 1 includes a recording unit and a heating device. The recording unit ejects liquid onto the medium, thereby recording an image on the medium. The medium having the liquid attached to the recording portion is heated by the heating device, so that the moisture of the liquid attached to the medium is evaporated. The medium processing apparatus is one example of a recording apparatus, the heating apparatus is one example of a drying apparatus, and the medium is one example of a recording medium. Among users who use the recording apparatus, there are users who do not need the drying apparatus. Therefore, in order not to bring unnecessary burden in terms of cost to a user who does not need the drying apparatus, a structure in which the drying apparatus is provided as an optional device mountable with respect to the recording apparatus is considered. However, when the user attaches the drying device to the recording device, the drying device is not attached so that the recording medium to be dried and the drying device are in an appropriate positional relationship, and thus there is a possibility that the recording medium cannot be properly dried.
