PURPOSE:To process belt-like photographic papers of different widths by providing a cutter which cuts the photographic paper, a punching means which punches detaining holes near the preceding end of the paper, a means for clipping the paper to the detaining holes, a reservoir for the succeeding part of the paper and a clip guiding means. CONSTITUTION:Belt-like photographic paper 1 is conveyed through a printing section 2, a guiding section 3 and a processing section 4 in this order. The paper 1 supplied to a spool 5 passes over a printing plate 7 via a tension roller 6 and is conducted between a double press roller 8 and a feed roller 9. A sensor 10 provided on the down stream side of the roller 9 detects the preceding end of the paper 1 and stops conveying of the same. A hole puncher 12 and a cutter 13 are provided on the down stream of the sensor 10. The puncher 12 forms detaining holes near the preceding end of the paper 1. The cutter 13 cuts the paper apart by a prescribed distance from the detaining holes. When a sensor 15 checks the detention, a clip 14 is mounted and the succeeding part is contained temporarily in a reservoir 17. Plural pieces of the clips 14 are loaded in a clip case 22, and are separated by each piece and are conducted into a conveying passage. |
