Claims

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] 1. Image recording means for recording an image on the recording paper along a sub-scanning direction in the width direction of the recording paper and a main scanning direction substantially perpendicular to the sub-scanning direction; and an image recording apparatus having a recording paper conveying means for conveying the recording paper toward A first paper feed port is formed at a position communicating with a first path offset to one side of the recording paper path, and communicates with a second path offset to the other side of the recording paper path in the sub-scanning direction. Outputs a paper feed port selection signal by selecting which paper feed port is to be used among the second paper feed port formed at the position, the first paper feed port, and the second paper feed port. and a sub-scanning range for the recording paper fed along the first path or a sub-scanning range for the recording paper fed along the second path. An image recording apparatus comprising sub-scanning range switching means for switching the sub-scanning range of one of the image recording means based on the paper feed port selection signal. 2. The above-mentioned image recording device has a recording paper path that is formed to be a predetermined amount wider than the width of the recording paper in the sub-scanning direction, and a width that is occupied by this recording paper path, and on one side of this recording paper path. A first paper feed cassette in which recording paper is stacked at a position along a first path that is offset, and a second paper feed cassette in which recording paper is stacked at a position along a second path that is offset to the other side of the recording paper path. a paper feed port into which a paper feed cassette is selectively installed; a cassette determining means for determining the type of the paper feed cassette installed in the paper feed port; and a record sheet fed along the first path. Sub-scanning range switching for switching either the sub-scanning range of paper or the sub-scanning range of recording paper fed along the second path based on the determination result of the cassette discriminating means. An image recording device comprising means. 3. The image recording device has a recording paper path that is formed to be a predetermined amount wider than the width of the recording paper in the sub-scanning direction, and a width that is occupied by this recording paper path and is offset to one side of the recording paper path. a paper feed port in which a paper feed cassette whose stacking position of the recording paper can be varied is installed at a position along a first path which is offset from the recording paper path and a position along a second path which is offset to the other side of the recording paper path; a recording paper position detection means for detecting the stacking position of recording paper in the paper feed cassette attached to the paper feed port and outputting a recording paper position detection signal; and recording paper fed along the first path. sub-scanning range or the second
and sub-scanning range switching means for switching one of the sub-scanning ranges of the recording paper fed along the path based on the recording paper position detection signal of the recording paper position detection means. An image recording device.
