To provide a technique for avoiding an increase in the size of a device such as enlargement of an installation space and an increase in a device height, and arranging a heating part.SOLUTION: An image recording device 1 includes: a recording part for recording an image on a recording medium S; a heating part for heating the recording medium S; a discharge part for discharging the recording medium S; a first conveyance path 20 for conveying the recording medium S from the recording part to the discharge part through the heating part; and a second conveyance path 21 for conveying the recording medium S from the upstream of the heating part to the downstream of the heating part not through the heating part, or from the downstream of the heating part to the upstream of the heating part not through the heating part. In a first section 24 where the heating part is arranged in the first conveyance path 20, the recording medium S is guided to a direction substantially vertical to an installation surface G of the image recording device 1, and the second conveyance path 21 has a second section 25 parallel to the first section 24.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】設置スペースの拡大や装置高さの増大等の装置大型化を回避して、加熱部を配置することが可能な技術を提供する。【解決手段】記録媒体Ｓに画像を記録する記録部と、記録媒体Ｓを加熱する加熱部と、記録媒体Ｓの排出を行う排出部と、記録媒体Ｓを記録部から加熱部を経て排出部へ搬送するための第１搬送路２０と、記録媒体Ｓを、加熱部の上流から加熱部を通さずに加熱部の下流へ、または加熱部の下流から加熱部を通さずに加熱部の上流へ、搬送するための第２搬送路２１と、を備える画像記録装置１において、第１搬送路２０の加熱部が配された第１区間２４において、記録媒体Ｓは、画像記録装置１の設置面Ｇに略垂直な方向に案内され、第２搬送路２１は、第１区間２４と並行する第２区間２５を有する。【選択図】図１
