Image recording apparatus having an improve usability of the apparatus in the event of an occurrence of an error

摘要

An image recording apparatus including a controller for determining whether a recording operation is a first or a second recording operation and for determining whether an error that suspends the recording operation is occurring, wherein when the recording operation is the first recording operation and the error is occurring, the occurrence of the error is kept notified until the error is fixed, wherein when the recording operation is the second recording operation and the error is occurring, the occurrence of the error is kept notified for a predetermined time, wherein the recording operation, the performance of which was suspended by the occurrence of the error, is cancelled after the occurrence of the error has been kept notified for the predetermined time, and wherein the suspended recording operation is performed on condition that the error is fixed in a time period during which the occurrence of the error is kept notified.

主权项

1. An image recording apparatus, comprising:
a recording device configured to record, on a recording sheet, an image based on image data; a notifying device configured to notify an occurrence of an error by generating at least one of a visual notification and an audio notification; and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to execute:
a recording-operation performing process in which a recording operation of the image is performed by the recording device according to a recording command for the image;a first determining process in which it is determined whether the recording operation to be performed in the recording-operation performing process is a first recording operation or a second recording operation;a second determining process in which it is determined whether an error that suspends performance of the recording operation of the image by the recording device is occurring, the error being an error which will be fixed by a user of the image recording apparatus;a first notifying process in which, when it is determined in the first determining process that the recording operation to be performed is the first recording operation and it is determined in the second determining process that the error is occurring, the occurrence of the error is kept notified by the notifying device until the error is fixed;a second notifying process in which, when it is determined in the first determining process that the recording operation to be performed is the second recording operation and it is determined in the second determining process that the error is occurring, the occurrence of the error is kept notified by the notifying device for a predetermined length of time; anda cancelling process in which the recording operation, the performance of which was suspended by the occurrence of the error, is cancelled after the occurrence of the error has been kept notified for the predetermined length of time by the notifying device, the cancelling process being executed in a state in which the occurrence of the error has been kept notified by the notifying device in the second notifying process, and wherein the suspended recording operation of the image is resumed, on condition that the error is fixed in a time period during which the occurrence of the error is kept notified by the notifying device in the first notifying process or the second notifying process.
