Abstract: In at least one of the period when the conveying speed of a continuous record medium is accelerated until the conveying speed reaches a constant speed and the period when the conveying speed is decelerated to stop conveying the continuous record medium, a test pattern is recorded on the continuous record medium by a first image recording unit and a second image recording unit. The pattern is read by a first detection unit and a second detection unit, and a record check unit determines whether or not there is a record error in the test pattern.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a conveying unit for conveying a continuous medium, on which an image is recorded by an image recording unit, with a predetermined tension and speed, a cutting unit having a cut roller and an anvil roller, which are arranged to face each other in order to be able to cut the continuous medium and rotate with a predetermined rotation number, a leading unit having a pair of leading rollers that are arranged between the conveying unit and the cutting unit and nip and lead the continuous medium to the cutting unit, and a controlling unit for performing a control for temporarily suspending the pair of leading rollers, for leading the continuous medium to be cuttable into a short cut paper sheet shorter than a normal sheet.
