Image recording apparatus

An image recording apparatus, comprising:

• a feed roller configured to feed a recording medium to a conveyance route;
• a conveyer configured to convey the recording medium fed to the conveyance route in a conveyance direction;
• a recording head disposed downstream of the feed roller in the conveyance direction and configured to record an image by discharging ink onto the recording medium;
• a carriage configured to cause the recording head to reciprocate in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction;
• a motor configured to drive the feed roller and the conveyer;
• a transmission mechanism configured to transmit a rotation of the motor in a first direction to the conveyer without transmitting the rotation of the motor in the first direction to the feed roller, and configured to transmit the rotation of the motor in a second direction opposite to the first direction to the feed roller without transmitting the rotation of the motor in the second direction to the conveyer;
• a lock detector configured to detect a motor lock state in which the rotation of the motor instructed to drive is being stopped;
• and
• a controller,
• wherein the controller is configured to:
• record the image on the recording medium by alternately repeating a line feed process and a recording process, the line feed process being a process in which the conveyer is driven to convey the recording medium in the conveyance direction by a conveyance amount corresponding to a line feed amount determined based on printing data, the recording process being a process in which the carriage is driven in a state where the conveyance of the recording medium is stopped to cause the recording head to record the image;
• start feeding of a second recording medium, before the recoding of the image to the first recoding medium is completed, by rotating the motor in the second direction so as to drive the feed roller, the second recording medium being a medium to be conveyed next to the first recording medium;
• continue, in a case that the motor lock state is detected by the lock detector before the recording of the image to the first recording medium is completed, a control for rotating the motor in the second direction, until a process for recoding the image to the first recording medium being executed at a timing when the motor lock state is detected, is completed;
• and
• stop a driving of the motor after the process for recoding the image to the first recording medium is completed.
