Abstract:
An image recording apparatus includes a recording unit, first and second rollers, a guide member, and a cutting unit. The recording unit performs image recording on a sheet conveyed in a conveying direction on a first conveyance path. The first roller is located further downstream than the recording unit in the first conveyance path. The second roller is located further downstream than the first roller in the first conveyance path. The guide member has a guide surface that forms a second conveyance path extending from a connection position of the first conveyance path between the first roller and the second roller. The cutting unit is located between the connection position and the second roller, cuts a sheet, and has a cutter. The guide member changes in posture between a first posture for forming the second conveyance path and a second posture for opening the second conveyance path.
