SOLUTION: An inkjet printer 100 comprises a paper feeding and discharging part 10 provided on one side part and for feeding and discharging a recording paper 1, an image recording part 40, and the first roller part 50 and the second roller part 60 placing the image recording part 40 between them and positioned on the paper feeding and discharging part 10 side and on the opposite side. When an unrecorded recording paper 1 is fed from the paper feeding and discharging part 10, the first roller part 50 and the second roller part 60 carry it to the opposite side of a transporting passage passing through the image recording part 40.
