Abstract

An image recording apparatus includes a controller configured to control a conveyor and an image recording engine to perform borderless image recording. To perform the borderless image recording, the controller performs, when a medium length is equal to or less than a particular length, a first enlargement process to enlarge an image to a size with a first overhang area by which the enlarged image extends beyond an image recording target area, the first overhang area having an overhang width of a first value. The controller further performs, when the medium length is not equal to or less than the particular length, a second enlargement process to enlarge the image to a size with a second overhang area by which the enlarged image extends beyond the image recording target area, the second overhang area having an overhang width of a second value smaller than the first value.
