The present invention relates to an image recording apparatus with a desired exposure device mounted thereon as an option.
As an image recording apparatus of the type using a photosensitive pressure-sensitive recording medium carrying thereon an immense number of pressure-rupturable, various kinds of image recording apparatuses have been known in the art which include a full-color copying machine, a CRT printer, a film printer. These machines or devices have been designed to have a relevant handling quality and requisite functions depending on the intended use thereof.
However, notwithstanding the fact that these devices have a basic arrangement common to all these devices, the final arrangements of these devices are considerably different due to a difference in intended use. To design and build up each of the different types of image recording apparatuses, a great deal of time and expense has been required.
