Abstract
An image recording apparatus is capable of mounting a replaceable monochromatic recording head or color recording head and has a function to discriminate a type of the recording head mounted on a carriage. When a facsimile mode is selected and the mounted recording head is discriminated as the color recording head, a display is made on a display of a console panel to indicate the exchange of the recording head to the monochromatic recording head.
