ABSTRACT:
In a photoprinter having a bar code reader, a method is provided of automatically assigning a reference frame number to the last bar code on a film order. The reference number is the highest frame number associated with the detected film order length. The method includes a determination that the last bar code read is within specified distance from the end of the film order to ensure that it is, in fact, the last bar code on the order so that the position of the reference frame number is correctly determined. Once the reference frame number and its position is determined, a known frame number assignment algorithm is employed to map out the remaining frame numbers to the image frame notch locations on the film order.
