Abstract
An image recording apparatus for recording an image on a sheet includes a recording section which records the image on the sheet in a transport passage for transporting the sheet in a transport direction and multiple plates which are spaced apart from each other in a widthwise direction. These multiple plates include a first type of plate and a second type of plate. Plates of a first type of plate are configured to overlap a sheet when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction and the widthwise direction, while plates of the second type of plate do not.

An image recording apparatus comprising:
- a roller pair configured to nip a sheet therebetween and transport the sheet in a transport direction;
- a recording section including a nozzle that discharge ink to the sheet, wherein the nozzle is provided downstream of a nip point of the roller pair in the transport direction;
- a platen including a support surface configured to support the sheet, wherein the support surface is opposed to the recording section in a direction orthogonal to the support surface;
- and
- a member including a downstream end of the member in the transport direction, a first portion that is fitting with another member and a second portion that connects the downstream end and the first portion,
- wherein the first portion includes an upstream end of the member in the transport direction,
- wherein the nip point is located between the downstream end of the member and the upstream end of the member in the transport direction,
- wherein a center of a roller of the roller pair in the direction is located between the upstream end and the downstream end in the direction, and
- wherein the second portion includes a portion extending above the roller of the roller pair.
