An image recording device includes a conveying mechanism disposed in a predetermined conveying path including a plurality of rollers for conveying a recording medium by a predetermined conveying distance while nipping the recording medium, and a recording unit for recording an image to the recording medium. The device also includes an upstream-side trailing edge detector disposed on an upstream side of the rollers for detecting a trailing edge of the recording medium, a downstream-side trailing edge detector disposed on a downstream side of the rollers for detecting the trailing edge of the recording medium, and a skip warning region determination unit for determining whether or not the trailing edge of the recording medium is located in a skip warning region. Moreover, the device includes a storage unit for storing a correction value table including a predetermined correction value, and a correction unit for receiving the correction value from the correction value table and for correcting the predetermined conveying distance when the trailing edge of the recording medium is in the skip warning region. The device also includes a skipping distance calculation unit for calculating the skipping distance observed on the recording medium based on the predetermined conveying distance before the downstream-side trailing edge detector detects the trailing edge of the recording medium, and based on a detector-to-detector distance on the predetermined conveying path between the upstream-side trailing edge detector and the downstream-side trailing edge detector, and for adjusting the predetermined correction value in the correction value table based on the calculated skipping distance.
