To stabilize image quality, and to prevent a failure of a recording head by reducing a corrugation quantity and a generating quantity of a wrinkle generated when correcting the dislocation of an endless belt.
This image recorder is provided with the endless belt for carrying a recording medium, the recording head for recording an image on the recording medium, and a plurality of rollers for carrying the recording medium by rotating the endless belt, and is also provided with a belt moving part for moving the endless belt in a direction orthogonal to the rotational direction by relatively moving one end of at least one roller to one end of the other roller, a dislocation detecting sensor for detecting the dislocation direction of the endless belt, and a control part for controlling the recording head and the belt moving part on the basis of the detecting result of the dislocation detecting sensor. The control part controls the belt moving part so as to complete dislocation correcting operation for moving the endless belt on the basis of the detecting result of the dislocation detecting sensor while carrying the recording medium.
