Abstract
An image recording apparatus is improved by providing mounting section for mounting and conveying an ink sheet and a recording medium in good condition, discriminating devices for detecting and discriminating width sizes of the ink sheet and the recording medium, a recording unit for recording an image on the recording medium by effecting the ink sheet, and a control unit for controlling a recording operation according to a detection result obtained through the discriminating devices. The image is thus ready for recording subject to the width sizes of both ink sheet and recording medium being coincident.
