ABSTRACT:
A photographic printer for printing negative images on a negative film onto photographic paper. The printing direction can be changed over between "lateral" and "longitudinal" without changing the feed direction of the negative film. A reflecting mirror is inclined by 45.degree. with respect to the optical axis of the light emitted from a light source to the negative film and is supported to be rotatable about the optical axis. A driving unit is provided to rotate the reflecting mirror by 90.degree. about the optical axis between a reference position and a second position. Exposure stages are provided on the optical axes of the light beams reflected by the reflecting mirror when the mirror is in its reference position and second position, respectively. The photographic paper is guided through the exposure stages. According to the position of the mirror, negative images are printed on the paper at one of the two exposure stages. Thus, the printing position can be changed over between lateral and longitudinal by turning the mirror between its reference position and second position.
