An exposure section which is arranged facing a surface of a photosensitive material and in which a plurality of exposure elements are arranged in a line in a width direction of the photosensitive material, and one or more lines of a plurality of pixel data constituting image data. First output means for guiding each of the exposure elements of the exposure unit in correspondence with each other, border data storage means for storing border data, and a predetermined number of exposure elements before and after the exposure unit. A photographic processing device comprising: second output means for guiding the border data stored in the data storage means in a corresponding manner. 2. An exposure control means for causing output data from the first and second output means to correspond to each exposure element, wherein the exposure control means comprises an exposure control means for exposing the front and rear exposure elements corresponding to the border data. The number is stored in advance, the border data from the second output means is output to a predetermined number of exposure elements on the head side, and the pixel data from the first output means is associated with the subsequent exposure elements. 2. The photographic processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a predetermined number of exposure elements on the side are associated so as to output border data from said second output means. 3. The first and second output means have a common multiplexer. Image data and border data are input in parallel to the multiplexer. The exposure control means outputs a selection control signal to output the multiplexer. 3. A photographic processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein one of the input data is selectively switched and output. 4. The photographic processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a size setting means for setting a size of the photosensitive material. 5. The photographic processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a border width setting means for setting a border width. 6. The photographic processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising color setting means for setting a border color. 7. A transport means for transporting the photosensitive material, wherein the exposure control means outputs a second output to a border set at a front and rear position in the transport direction of the photosensitive material based on a drive signal of the transport means. 7. The photographic processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the border data is output from the means.
