ABSTRACT:
A film developing process automatically conveys film to a film developing section. When a cartridge conveyed intermittently by a cartridge conveying device is conveyed to a first stop position, a tapered tongue drawing device is actuated to draw an end portion of a film strip out of the cartridge. At a second stop position, a cutting device and a punching device are operated to cut the tapered tongue and form coupling holes on the end portion of the film strip respectively. At a third stop position, a reinforcing label is applied to the end portion of the film strip by a label sticking device. At fourth and fifth stop positions, the end portions of the film strips are coupled with a leader sheet which has been conveyed and stopped at the other side of the fourth and fifth stop positions. The cartridges are then conveyed together with the leader sheet into the film developing section. Between the film developing section and the printing section a leader sheet guide is installed in which is formed a leader sheet guide path. A leader sheet sent out from the film developing section is sent into a leader sheet supporter and when the leader sheet stops, the leader sheet and film strips are released from their coupling. The leader sheet guide is then moved to second and third stop positions where the film strips are sent into a film path of the printing section.
