ABSTRACT:
A photographic printer is provided with a film strip receiving means including an elongated film strip receiving slot. A transport means is activated by a film strip detection means when the leading end of a film strip is inserted into the slot to move the film strip into the slot. The detection means also detects the presence of the trailing end of the film strip if the film strip is not totally contained by the slot. If a trailing end is not detected, a door is closed to light seal the entrance to the slot. If a trailing end is detected, the door is not closed to prevent damage to the film strip.
