Abstract
An image recording apparatus having a plurality of sensors for performing a detection with respect to a recording medium is provided, with which it is made possible for each of the plurality of sensors to detect the state of the recording medium at a desired position of the recording medium even in a case where the width of the recording medium being used has been modified. The image recording apparatus includes a conveyance part configured to convey the recording medium, a first sensor configured to perform a detection with respect to the recording medium, a second sensor configured to perform a detection with respect to the recording medium, and a positional relationship regulation part configured to regulate a positional relationship between the first sensor and the second sensor. The first sensor and the second sensor are movable in conjunction with one another by moving the positional relationship regulation part.
