Image recording apparatus

An image recording apparatus, comprising:

• a print engine that transfers a toner image on a recording medium;
• a fixing unit that fixes the toner image transferred onto the recording medium by said print engine;
• a medium sensor that outputs a detection signal when a recording medium passes said medium sensor;
• and
• a controller that determines from the detection signal whether an abnormal transportation of the recording medium has occurred or not, wherein when said controller determines from the detection signal during continuous printing that a following one of two consecutive pages of recording medium remains in said print engine after removing a preceding one of the two consecutive pages that has been abnormally transported, said controller controls said fixing unit to a predetermined temperature and subsequently allows the following one of the two pages to pass through said fixing unit at a first speed so that the following one of the two pages is discharged from the image recording apparatus.

An image recording apparatus, comprising:

• a print engine that transfers a toner image on a recording medium;
• a medium detector that outputs a detection signal when the recording medium passes said medium detector;
• and
• a controller that determines from the detection signal that an abnormal transportation of the recording medium has occurred,
• wherein when said medium detector outputs the detection signal, said controller causes said print engine to stop and subsequently discharges the recording medium from the image recording apparatus.
