Abstract
An image recording device includes a conveying mechanism disposed in a predetermined conveying path including a plurality of rollers for conveying a recording medium by a predetermined conveying distance while nipping the recording medium. The device also includes an upstream-side trailing edge detector for detecting a trailing edge of the recording medium, a downstream-side trailing edge detector for detecting the trailing edge of the recording medium, and a skip warning region determination unit for determining whether the trailing edge is located in a skip warning region. Moreover, the device includes a storage unit for storing a correction value table including a predetermined correction value, and a correction unit for correcting the predetermined conveying distance when the trailing edge is in the skip warning region. The device also includes a skipping distance calculation unit for calculating the skipping distance observed on the recording medium, and for adjusting the predetermined correction value in the correction value table based on the calculated skipping distance.
