Abstract
An image recording apparatus includes an operation panel, a sheet conveyor, a print head, a cutting device, and a sheet discharge port. The operation panel is disposed at a first-side face of a housing in a particular direction that extends from a first side to a second side of the image recording apparatus. The sheet conveyor is configured to convey a sheet along a conveyance path in a conveyance direction. The print head is disposed downstream of the sheet conveyor in the conveyance direction. The cutting device has a cutter for cutting the sheet. The sheet discharge port is open at the first-side face of the housing. At least a part of the sheet passes through the sheet discharge port when the sheet is discharged from the conveyance path. The cutter positioned below the operation panel is exposed to an outside of the housing through the sheet discharge port.
