Abstract:
1. An image recording apparatus which jets an ink to record an image on sheet-shaped recording media, comprising: a first mounting section on which the sheet-shaped recording media are mounted; a first feeding roller which feeds one recording medium of the sheet-shaped recording media from the first mounting section; a first transporting roller pair which nips the recording medium fed by the first feeding roller to transport the recording medium in a transport direction; a second transporting roller pair which is provided on a downstream side of the first transporting roller pair in the transport direction, and which nips and transports the recording medium transported by the first transporting roller pair; a recording head which is provided on a downstream side of the second transporting roller pair in the transport direction and which jets the ink onto the recording medium transported by the second transporting roller pair; a first detecting section which is provided on an upstream side of the first transporting roller pair in the transport direction, wherein the first detecting section is configured to detect the recording medium passing through thereof and to output a first output when the recording medium passes through the first detecting section and a second output when the recording medium does not pass through the first detecting section; a driving section which drives the first feeding roller, the first transporting roller pair and the second transporting roller pair; and a controller which controls the driving section and the recording head to execute a first recording mode in which the first transporting roller pair is rotated in synchronization with a rotation of the second transporting roller pair, wherein the controller is configured to perform a plurality kinds of processing, comprising: wherein the driving section comprises:
