Abstract
An image recording apparatus compares the memory size for storing image data corresponding to an image to be recorded with a recording sheet size designated by a recording sheet size designation command included in printing data output from an external apparatus. If the recording sheet size exceeds the memory size, the apparatus forms image data in a resolution lower than a normal resolution and stores the data in the memory. On printing the image in accordance with the stored image data, the apparatus multiplies the data in the memory and records the image in the initial resolution.
