Patent ID: 8641038

Claim:
An image recording device comprising: a tray configured to hold a first recording medium; an insertion guide configured to move between a guide position for guiding insertion of a second recording medium into a common path, and a non-guide position retracted from the guide position; a conveyer configured to convey the tray toward the insertion guide along the common path in a first direction, and to convey the second recording medium from the insertion guide along the common path in a second direction opposite to the first direction; a recording unit disposed along the common path and configured to record an image selectively on the first recording medium held by the tray and the second recording medium; a stopper disposed between the recording unit and the insertion guide and configured to move between a protruding position in which the stopper protrudes into the common path and a retracted position in which the stopper is retracted from the protruding position; and a moving unit configured to move the stopper in response to movement of the insertion guide such that: when the insertion guide moves from the non-guide position to the guide position, the stopper disposed between the recording unit and the insertion guide moves from the retracted position to the protruding position in which the stopper stops conveyance of the tray toward the insertion guide in the first direction and allows conveyance of the second recording medium from the insertion guide in the second direction, and when the insertion guide moves from the guide position to the non-guide position, the stopper moves from the protruding position to the retracted position in which the stopper allows conveyance of the tray toward the insertion guide in the first direction.
