ABSTRACT:
A conveyor unit in an image recording apparatus can convey a record medium, being unwound from a roll, in either of a first direction in which the roll is unwound and a second direction reverse to the first direction. The image recording apparatus includes first and second contact mechanisms capable of bringing the record medium into close contact with a conveyor member at positions distant in the respective first and second directions from an image recording position where an image recording head records an image on the record medium. The first contact mechanism brings the record medium, being conveyed in the first direction, into close contact with the conveyor member. The second contact mechanism brings a part of the record medium, being conveyed in the second direction, into close contact with the conveyor member, which part was beyond the conveyor member in the first direction when the conveyance direction of the record medium by the conveyor member was switched from the first direction to the second direction.
