Abstract
The present invention concerns an image recording apparatus, which records images on a roll-type recording medium. The image recording apparatus includes a recording device to record an image on a recording medium by emitting ink onto the recording medium; a cutting member to cut the recording medium after the recording device records the image, the cutting member being disposed downstream in respect to the recording device in a conveying-direction of the recording medium; a second conveyance member to convey the recording medium, the second conveyance member being disposed at a position located between the recording device and the cutting member in the conveying-direction of the recording medium; and a conveyance controller to control the second conveyance member so as to generate a slack of the recording medium at a section between the recording device and the second conveyance member in the conveying-direction of the recording medium.
