Image recording apparatus and sheet end moving method

A sheet end moving method of moving an end of a sheet medium toward a feed tray in an image recording apparatus, the image recording apparatus including:

• the feed tray configured to accommodate a roll body including a sheet medium wound in a roll shape, the feed tray having a support surface configured to support the sheet medium unwound from an accommodated roll body being the roll body accommodated in the feed tray;
• a casing configured to support the feed tray movably;
• a cutter configured to cut the sheet medium unwound from the accommodated roll body, the cutter being disposed inside the casing and above the feed tray supported by the casing;
• and
• a recorder configured to record an image on the sheet medium unwound from the accommodated roll body,
• wherein the end is an end formed at a position between the cutter and the feed tray by cutting the sheet medium unwound from the accommodated roll body with the cutter,
• the method comprising supplying energy to the sheet medium unwound from the accommodated roll body in a time period in which the sheet medium unwound from the accommodated roll body is conveyed from the accommodated roll body to the cutter so as to move the end, of the sheet medium unwound from the roll body, formed by the cutting toward the feed tray by the energy.
