Abstract
An image recording apparatus for recording an image of an original document on a photosensitive, pressure-sensitive recording medium by exposing the recording medium to imaging light to form a latent image thereon and pressure developing the latent image. The size of the latent image to be formed on the recording medium is detected and a color of a marginal portion surrounding the image portion is specified through an operation unit. An LED array is arranged upstream of an exposure station and in a direction to transverse the recording medium for irradiating light onto the marginal portion of the recording medium so that the marginal portion is reproduced with the color as specified.
