ABSTRACT:
A photosensitive material processing apparatus is equipped with a drying section in which a photosensitive material processed with a processing solution is conveyed by a plurality of rollers and dried by drying air from a drying air blowing device. In the photosensitive material processing apparatus, a plurality of heating rollers is disposed to form a part of the above-described plurality of rollers and whose surfaces are heated by a heat source. A control means effects on-off control for the heat source during processing of the photosensitive material to set the surface temperature of each of the plurality of heating rollers and to control the drying air blowing device to lower the surface temperature of each of the plurality of heating rollers by the drying air during a standby period. Accordingly, during the standby period, the surface temperature of each of the plurality of heating rollers is lowered forcibly by the drying air, so that overshooting is restricted.
