Abstract
An image recording apparatus incorporating two sheet cartridges each storing a photosensitive recording sheet. In one example of the invention, one of the sheet cartridge stores a microcapsule sheet adapted to record a full-color iamge and the other sheet cartridge stores another kind of microcapsule sheet adapted to record a monochromatic image. When a monochromatic image recording is to be performed, the relevant microcapsule sheet is selected and conveyed past an exposure station, a developing station, and a fixing station at a speed higher than a conveying speed of the full-color image recording microcapsule sheet. In another example of the invention, one of the sheet cartridge stores a microcapsule sheet adapted to record an image of a positive film and the other sheet cartridge stores a thermally developable silver halide photosensitive sheet adapted to record an image of a negative film. The microcapsule sheet and the silver halide sheet are selectively used depending upon the nature of the original film. The film image is projected by a slide projector onto selective one of the microcapsule sheet and the silver halide sheet. An automatic image focusing adjusting mechanism automatically adjusts a focal point of the image projected by the slide projector.
