A device for automatically loading a roll of film into a developing machine includes an external casing and a sliding drawer set in motion by a drive. The drawer has a longitudinal gap. A shuttle housing the roll of film, a product bar code reader, elements by which the shuttle is guided, respectively, in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, and a cutter by which the end of the film is trimmed square, are disposed to one side of the gap. A sheath accommodating the film leader is disposed on the other side of the gap. The casing also houses a vertical baffle supporting reels of adhesive tape. As the table slides into the casing, the film is automatically trimmed, brought into correct matching association with the leader and then spliced by portions of adhesive tape applied to both sides of the film and the leader.
