An image recording apparatus, comprising: an image recording unit which has a recording head for recording process to a recording medium; a transport mechanism which transports the recording medium; an ascent/descent mechanism which comprises an ascent/descent drive unit used for moving the transport mechanism between a recording position to a retract position; a bumping unit which is constituted by a bumping member and a bumped member and which bumps the present bumping member to the bumped member, thereby balancing the transport mechanism; a balance detection unit for detecting the balance of the transport mechanism; and an ascent/descent control unit which judges whether or not a bumping process for balancing the transport mechanism by means of the bumping unit is to be carried out on the basis of the detection result of the balance detection unit when the transport mechanism is moved from the retract position to the recording position.
