ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for placing a contact print slide (134) in a photographic printer (10) having a platen (54) for supporting a photographic paper (32) during exposure of an image (88, 90) onto the paper at a paper print gate (36) at the platen. The apparatus may include a carrier (236, 238, 250) for holding a contact print slide; a first mechanism (100-182) for receiving a contact print slide and for moving a contact print slide into a first position for engagement with and removal by the carrier; a second mechanism (56-72, 192-206) for moving the carrier toward the first position to engage the carrier with a contact print slide received by the first mechanism and for moving the carrier away from the first position to remove a contact print slide from the first mechanism; and a third mechanism (208-248) for moving the carrier toward a photographic paper supported by the platen, in order to place a contact print slide engaged with the carrier into contact with a photographic paper supported by the platen at the print gate.
