Abstract
Abstract The invention provides an image recording device having at least one cassette for housing a plurality of sheets of a recording medium, at least one recording head for recording an image on the recording medium housed in the cassette, and right and left exhaust rollers for delivering the recording medium with the image recorded thereon to right and left exhaust trays, respectively. By reciprocal movement, the recording head records an image on the recording medium which is held stationary. Further, the recording head allows recording in an equal size and with a change in magnification.
