Abstract:
1. An image recording apparatus in which an image is formed by exposing a photosensitive material, the apparatus comprising: a magazine for accommodating the photosensitive material in a light-shielded state; a pair of rollers which nip and pull out the photosensitive material from the magazine to inside the apparatus; a widthwise guide which is disposed in a vicinity of the pair of rollers and which restricts a rewinding direction of the photosensitive material by engaging edges of the photosensitive material at a time of rewinding of the photosensitive material; and a restriction canceling mechanism for canceling a width direction restriction of the photosensitive material due to the pair of rollers; wherein, when the photosensitive material is to be rewound into the magazine, the restriction of the photosensitive material due to the pair of rollers is cancelled by the restriction canceling mechanism, and a guide width defined by the widthwise guide is made narrower than when the photosensitive material is being pulled out.
