Image recording apparatus and program

An image recording apparatus comprising:

• a reading unit configured to read an image formed on a recording medium;
• a recording unit configured to an image on the recording medium positioned in a recording area;
• a placement unit on which the recording medium having the image recorded thereon by the recording unit is placed;
• a conveyance mechanism that conveys the recording medium to the placement unit via the recording area;
• a sensor configured to output a signal, based on whether the recording medium on the placement unit is detected;
• and
• a controller configured to control the reading unit, the recording unit, the conveyance mechanism and the sensor,
• wherein the controller is configured to:
• determine, when the signal received from the sensor is changed from a signal indicating that the recording medium is not detected to a signal indicating that the recording medium is detected, whether the change indicates a case where the recording medium is conveyed by the conveyance mechanism and is thus placed on the placement unit or a case where the recording medium is placed on the placement unit without conveying by the conveyance mechanism, based on whether the recording medium is conveyed by the conveyance mechanism;
• start, when an image reading by the reading unit and an image recording by the recording unit are controlled within a first predetermined time after the signal received from the sensor is changed from the signal indicating that the recording medium is detected to the signal indicating that the recording medium is not detected, monitoring to determine whether the recording medium is placed on the placement unit without conveying by the conveyance mechanism;
• and
• stop, when it is determined during the monitoring that the recording medium is placed on the placement unit without conveying by the conveyance mechanism, the operation of the recording unit to record the image read by the reading unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions to control an image recording apparatus comprising a reading unit configured to read an image formed on a recording medium;

• a recording unit configured to record an image on the recording medium positioned in a recording area;
• a placement unit, on which the recording medium having the image recorded by the recording unit is placed;
• a conveyance mechanism configured to convey the recording medium to the placement unit via the recording area;
• a sensor configured to output a signal, based on whether the recording medium on the placement unit is detected;
• wherein the image recording apparatus is configured to determine, when the signal received from the sensor is changed from a signal indicating that the recording medium is not detected to a signal indicating that the recording medium is detected, whether the change indicates a case where the recording medium is conveyed by the conveyance mechanism and is thus placed on the placement unit or a case where the recording medium is placed on the placement unit without conveying by the conveyance mechanism, based on whether the recording medium is conveyed by the conveyance mechanism, the instructions to control the image recording apparatus to perform a method comprising:
• starting, when the reading unit is operated to start reading the image within a first predetermined time after the signal received from the sensor is changed from the signal indicating that the recording medium is detected to the signal indicating that the recording medium is not detected, monitoring to determine whether the recording medium is placed on the placement unit without conveying by the conveyance mechanism;
• and
• storing, when it is determined during the monitoring that the recording medium is placed on the placement unit without conveying by the conveyance mechanism, data indicating an irregularity reading in the storage unit.

• a recording unit configured to record an image on the recording medium positioned in a recording area;
• a placement unit, on which the recording medium having the image recorded by the recording unit is placed;
• a conveyance mechanism configured to convey the recording medium to the placement unit via the recording area;
• a sensor configured to output a signal, based on whether the recording medium on the placement unit is detected;
• a storage unit, wherein the image recording apparatus is configured to determine, when the signal received from the sensor is changed from a signal indicating that the recording medium is not detected to a signal indicating that the recording medium is detected, whether the change indicates a case where the recording medium is conveyed by the conveyance mechanism and is thus placed on the placement unit or a case where the recording medium is placed on the placement unit without conveying by the conveyance mechanism, based on whether the recording medium is conveyed by the conveyance mechanism, the instructions to control the image recording apparatus to perform a method comprising:
