Abstract
An image recording system including a host control unit for generating image data and a printer apparatus for forming an image on a sheet of paper in accordance with the image data. The printer apparatus has a function of dividing the image into two image areas with respect to a boundary extending in a direction orthogonal to the direction of transport of the paper and of forming each of the image areas with different colors. The host control unit is adapted to supply to the printer apparatus a boundary signal indicative of the boundary of the image areas. The printer apparatus has a controller for automatically selecting a first orientation in which the lengthwise direction of the sheet is the direction of transport when the boundary signal indicates a boundary extending in the widthwise direction of the sheet and for automatically selecting a second orientation in which the widthwise direction of the sheet of paper when the boundary signal indicates a boundary extending in the lengthwise direction of the sheet.
