Image recording apparatus with exposure amount controlling capability dependent upon temperature/humidity changes

摘要

An image recording apparatus adapted to record an image on an image receiving sheet selected from plural kinds of sheets using a photosensitive recording medium, wherein the photosensitive recording medium is exposed to light emitted from an exposure lamp to form a latent image thereon. In view of the fact that a photosensitivity of the recording medium varies depending upon ambient temperature and/or humidity, at least the ambient temperature is detected so that an exposure amount applied to the photosensitive recording medium is controlled in response to the sensed temperature and the kind of the sheet on which the image is formed.
