Film handling apparatus for a multipass photographic film scanner and printer

摘要

Film handling apparatus for a multipass scanner and printer system has film receiving chambers at opposite ends of the apparatus above the film track to receive and temporarily store the coiled film between forward and reverse film transport phases. Film diversion spring fingers are provided at least at the film entry end of the film track between the track and bottom opening to the chamber to allow insertion of the film in one direction and diversion of the film into the chamber when the film transport direction is reversed.
