Abstract
There is provided an image recording apparatus including a transportation unit that transports a recording medium, a driven rotation member that rotates as a result of being driven depending on the recording medium which is transported by the transportation unit while in contact with the recording medium, a rotational position detection unit that detects a rotational position of the driven rotation member, and a control unit that controls an amount of transportation of the recording medium based on a result of the detection by the rotational position detection unit.

An image recording apparatus comprising:
- a transportation unit that transports a recording medium;
- a driven rotation member that rotates as a result of being driven depending on the recording medium which is transported by the transportation unit while in contact with the recording medium;
- a rotational position detection unit that detects a rotational position of the driven rotation member;
- and
- a control unit that controls an amount of transportation of the recording medium based on a result of the detection by the rotational position detection unit.
A recording medium control method that controls an amount of transportation of a recording medium being transported by a transportation unit, the method comprising:
- detecting a rotational position of a driven rotation member that rotates as a result of being driven depending on the recording medium which is transported by the transportation unit while in contact with the recording medium, and
- controlling the amount of transportation of the recording medium, based on a result of the detection in the detecting of the rotational position.
