Price printer and photographic-film carrier for photographic processing system

摘要

A price printer for printing prices relative to photographic processing, which is suitable for a printer-processor for printing image recorded on photographic films onto photographic papers. The price printer is disposed in a position where each image printed on the photographic paper is detected. The number of defective prints selected by detection is input by an operator. The number of the defective prints is subtracted from the total number of prints which is automatically input from the printer-processor to calculate the number of prints to be delivered to a customer and compute a print price to be printed. Therefore, a proper statement of delivery can be made at a time and the efficiency of work can be improved. A photographic-film carrier capable of automatically detecting information about the length of a processed photographic film can be provided. The price printer can read the length information so as to determine the kind of the photographic film and automatically set and print a development price. A process for determining the development price by the operator can be eliminated and a further improvement in the work efficiency can be made.
