Summary:To provide an image recording device, image recording method, and image recording program which can efficiently collect generated mist and avoid reduction in printing quality.SOLUTION: An image recording device comprises: a discharge head which has a plurality of nozzles arranged side by side in a sub-scanning direction orthogonal to a main-scanning direction and moves in the main-scanning direction; a fan which generates an airflow for collecting mist of ink discharged from the nozzles; and a controller. The controller acquires a droplet size of ink to be discharged by the nozzle from a printing job or a preset printing mode, acquires a distance between a discharge surface of the discharge head and a printing object medium, and controls the rotation speed of the fan on the basis of the droplet size and the distance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】発生するミストを効率的に回収することができ、印刷品質が低下することを回避することができる画像記録装置、画像記録方法、および画像記録プログラムを提供する。【解決手段】画像記録装置は、主走査方向に直交する副走査方向に並んで配置された複数のノズルを有すると共に、主走査方向に移動する吐出ヘッドと、ノズルから吐出されたインクのミストを回収するための気流を発生させるファンと、コントローラとを備え、コントローラは、印刷ジョブ又は予め設定された印刷モードからノズルにより吐出すべきインクの液滴サイズを取得し、吐出ヘッドの吐出面と被印刷媒体との距離を取得し、液滴サイズおよび距離に基づいてファンの回転数を制御する。【選択図】図8
