An image recording apparatus comprising:
- a casing in which a first conveying path for guiding a recording medium in a conveying direction is provided;
- a recording portion configured to record an image on the recording medium guided by the first conveying path;
- a tray provided below the recording portion so as to accommodate the recording medium;
- a supplying roller configured to supply the recording medium accommodated by the tray to the first conveying path;
- a first arm provided above the tray, wherein the supplying roller is provided on a distal end of the first arm;
- a first frame supported by the casing and supporting the recording portion;
- and
- a second frame supported by the casing, provided separately from the first frame, and supporting the first arm, wherein a position of the second frame in a frontward and rearward direction is determined by a position of the first frame, and wherein a portion of the second frame, in contact with a portion of the first frame, moves in an upward and downward direction with respect to the portion of the first frame in response to a force applied through the first arm in the upward and downward direction while the supplying roller supplies the recording medium.
An image recording apparatus comprising:
- a casing;
- a sheet-supply tray;
- a recording portion configured to record an image on a recording sheet;
- a supplying roller configured to supply the recording sheet from the sheet-supply tray to the recording portion;
- a sheet-supply arm provided above the sheet-supply tray, wherein the supplying roller is provided on a distal end of the sheet-supply arm;
- a first frame supported by the casing and supporting the recording portion;
- and
- a second frame supported by the casing and supporting the sheet-supply arm, wherein a position of the second frame in a frontward and rearward direction is determined by a position of the first frame, and wherein a portion of the second frame, in contact with a portion of the first frame, moves in an upward and downward direction with respect to the portion of the first frame in response to a force applied through the first arm in the upward and downward direction while the supplying roller supplies the recording medium.
