Abstract
An image recording apparatus includes a conveyance mechanism conveying a sheet-shaped medium in a conveyance direction, a recorder recording an image on the conveyed sheet-shaped medium, and a controller. The conveyance mechanism selectively conveys a first sheet-shaped medium accommodated in a first accommodation part, and a second sheet-shaped medium accommodated in a second accommodation part and longer than the first sheet-shaped medium in the conveyance direction. The controller causes, based on a recording command, the conveyance mechanism to convey a sheet-shaped medium from one of the first and second accommodation parts, and causes the recorder to record an image on the sheet-shaped medium. In a case where accommodation part information in the recording command indicates the first accommodation part, and medium information in the recording command indicates the second sheet-shaped medium, the controller causes the conveyance mechanism to convey the second sheet-shaped medium from the second accommodation part.
