ABSTRACT:
An image recording apparatus which exposes a document image to a photosensitive material to obtain a reproduced image, comprising: first magnification setting means which automatically sets a first exposure magnification in which the document image is recorded on the overall surface of the photosensitive material; second magnification setting means which changes the first exposure magnification which has been set by the first magnification setting means to set a second exposure magnification where the first exposure magnification has been increased by a predetermined value so that margin is prevented from being formed at the periphery of an image which is recorded on the photosensitive material; and exposure means which exposes the document image to the photosensitive material, on the basis of the central portion of the document image, in one of the first exposure magnification which has been set by the first magnification setting means and the second exposure magnification which has been set by the second magnification setting means. As a result, when the photosensitive material is exposed in said second exposure magnification, the document image can be exposed to said photosensitive material in a larger size than that of said photosensitive material.
