PURPOSE:To prevent the reflux of waste atmosphere by means of other devices by a method wherein the waste piping of the title processor is provided with a waste trap made of a U-piping or the like, and an exhaust piping is connected between the trap and the development processing unit. CONSTITUTION:This processor is provided with a waste exhaust piping 3 connected to the development processing unit 1, an exhaust trap 4 to prevent the direct intake of waste to an exhaust piping 6, an automatic dumper 5 to adjust the exhaust amount of the development processing unit on the basis of developing action, and the exhaust piping 6 connected to the exhaust trap 4 via exhaust dumper 5. It is further provided with a waste trap 7 made of a U-piping 8 to store a fixed amount of waste developer in and a waste piping 9 connected to the exhaust trap 4 via waste trap 7. Such a development processor always stores a fixed amount of waste developer in the waste trap 7, and this waste shuts, of the development processing unit from the waste piping; therefore, the problems of effects on the exhaust amount of the development processing unit and the reflux of atmosphere from the waste piping can be eliminated. |
