Abstract
An image recording apparatus includes: a housing formed with a first conveying path through which a sheet is conveyed; a head positioned above the first conveying path; a platen positioned below the first conveying path to face the head and which is moved between a first position and a second position farther from the head than the first position; an interference member positioned below the platen; and a discharge tray. The discharge tray is movable between a third position at which the discharge tray is installed in the housing and a fourth position at which the discharge tray is drawn from the housing. The interference member is movable between a fifth position at which the interference member contacts the platen being moved from the first position to the second position and a sixth position at which the interference member does not contact the platen positioned in the second position.
