SORTER AND PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stack up photographs without altering the order of printing by moving the discharge end of a conveying mechanism in a 2nd direction so that the photographs discharged from the conveying mechanism are arranged on a stacking part while in contact with a contact member. SOLUTION: The distance W between the conveyance end 100a of a 1st conveyor 100 and a guide plate 160 is variable in accordance with the size of a photograph 1d. When the width of the photograph 1d in a 2nd direction (Y direction) is smaller than a prescribed size, the distance W is shortened by moving the conveyance end 100a of the 1st conveyor 100 in the 2nd direction (Y direction) and the width of a belt conveying part 151 which functions as a tray on a 2nd conveyor 150 is substantially reduced. Unevenness in the arrangement of photographs 1d stacked up on the belt conveying part 151 is reduced and the order of conveyance is made to coincide with the order of stacking.
