<p>An image recording apparatus, which records an image on a recording medium by performing a sub-scan operation by conveying the recording medium by a predetermined amount upon completion of each main scan operation of a recording unit, is disclosed. The apparatus stops a convey operation of the recording medium after a first image is recorded on the recording medium. When a recording start command is generated within a predetermined period of time after the convey operation is stopped, a re-convey operation of the recording medium is started in response to this command, and a second image is recorded by the recording unit on the recording medium on which the first image is recorded. When the recording start command is not generated within the predetermined period of time, the recording medium on which the first image is recorded is automatically ejected. A plurality of images can be synthesized on a single recording medium before the medium is ejected without using a large-capacity memory. <IMAGE></p> |
