Abstract
An image recording apparatus includes a controller to calculate n that is a maximum natural number satisfying nX≤X0, where X0 represents a width of a sheet medium, and X represents a longest one of respective lengths, in a width direction of the sheet medium, of a plurality of first images or a single second image based on image data. The plurality of first images are arranged along a longitudinal direction of the sheet medium. When the calculated n is equal to or more than two, the controller performs a juxtaposed image recording process to control a print engine in such a manner that two or more and n or less images, among the plurality of first images or among a plurality of divisional images into which the single second image is divided, are recorded to be arranged side by side along the width direction.
