Abstract
The improved image recording apparatus includes an imagewise exposing device by which recording light modulated in accordance with an image to be recorded is allowed to be incident in a specified recording position; an auxiliary scanning transport device by which a light-sensitive material cut to a specified length is transported in an auxiliary scanning direction as it is held in the recording position and which has a first nip transport device and a second nip transport device; a supply device for transporting the light-sensitive material to be supplied in an appropriate posture into the first nip transport device; and a transport control device for controlling the supply device and the first nip transport device. The image recording apparatus can correct any skew in the posture of light-sensitive materials just upstream of the recording position and without affecting their exposure so that they are supplied in the appropriate posture to the recording position, thereby ensuring consistent production of prints (photographs) that record a skewless appropriate image.
