Patent ID: 8915494

Claim:
An image recording apparatus, comprising: a drive source configured to perform forward rotation and reverse rotation; a first roller rotatable in a first direction by the forward rotation of the drive source to convey a conveyed medium in a conveying direction, the first roller being rotatable in a second direction by the reverse rotation of the drive source, the second direction being reverse to the first direction; a recording device disposed downstream of the first roller in the conveying direction and configured to record an image on the conveyed medium; a second roller disposed downstream of the recording device in the conveying direction; a first power transmitter configured to transmit a first-direction driving power to the second roller to rotate the second roller in a third direction and not to transmit a second-direction driving power to the second roller, wherein the first-direction driving power is a rotational driving power of the first roller rotating in the first direction, and the second-direction driving power is a rotational driving power of the first roller rotating in the second direction; and a second power transmitter configured to transmit the second-direction driving power of the first roller to the second roller to rotate the second roller in a fourth direction reverse to the third direction and not to transmit the first-direction driving power of the first roller to the second roller.
