Abstract:
1. An image recording device: a first tray comprising a first bottom plate configured to hold thereon a first sheet, and a standing plate extending upward from a downstream portion, in a feed direction, of the first bottom plate, the first sheet having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a second tray disposed below the first tray and comprising a second bottom plate configured to hold thereon a second sheet, the second sheet having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a recording unit configured to record an image selectively on the first sheet and the second sheet; a first feeder configured to contact the first surface of the first sheet held on the first bottom plate and to feed the first sheet toward the recording unit in a feed direction; a second feeder configured to contact the first surface of the second sheet held on the second bottom plate and to feed the second sheet toward the recording unit in the feed direction; an inner member disposed above the standing plate of the first tray; and an outer member comprising an upstream portion opposing the standing plate, and a downstream portion disposed downstream, in the feed direction, of the upstream portion and opposite the inner member; wherein the inner member is configured to guide the first surface of the first sheet fed by the first feeder and the first surface of the second sheet fed by the second feeder, wherein the standing plate is configured to guide the first surface of the second sheet fed by the second feeder, wherein the upstream portion of the outer member is configured to guide the second surface of the second sheet fed by the second feeder, and the downstream portion of the outer member is configured to guide the second surface of the first sheet fed by the first feeder and the second surface of the second sheet fed by the second feeder, and wherein the standing plate of the first tray is configured to move relative to the outer member.
