ABSTRACT:
A apparatus for reading film information provided in plural stages on an outer surface of a cartridge containing a film. The apparatus comprises a light source; a pocket including a main body having a space for containing the cartridge in the main body and a window for exposing the film information of the cartridge contained in the space to outside, and a support unit for movably supporting the main body in a direction of varying the stages of the film information; an actuator for moving the main body of the pocket; and a reading mechanism for detecting light emitted from the light source, and reflected at an area of the film information through the window. The film information such as bar codes provided in two or more stages on the outer surface of the cartridge can be automatically read by one sensor, so that labor saving and downsizing of the apparatus can be achieved.
