[0001]

In the present invention the photographic light-sensitive material processing apparatus BACKGROUND OF THE relates conveyance device for conveying receiving a photographic print paper is sequentially discharged from the paper discharge outlet of the cutter unit.

[0002]

Recently, the photographic light-sensitive material processing machine, for example, E size (82.5 × 120 mm), young properly the L size (8
Along with a standard size print called 9 × 127 mm) , a panoramic size (for example, 89 × 254 mm) print has also been commonly used. There is a demand for an apparatus that automatically transports and aligns photographic print paper of any size, such as a standard size and a panoramic size, when the photographic print paper is discharged from the discharge port of the photographic material processing machine.

[0003]

However, in the conventional photographic light-sensitive material processing machine, the photographic print paper discharged from the discharge port of the processing machine is fed through a means such as a sliding table type, a belt type, and a drop type. Because the paper was sent to the tray , static electricity, convection of air, etc. affected the photographic print paper being conveyed, and in combination with the curved state of the discharged photographic print paper, the alignment of the photographic print paper Was unstable.
Therefore, especially photographic print paper long size (panoramic size), what is condensed product by an exclusive stocker mounting manually when having been discharged is present, it was very tedious.

[0004] The present invention has been developed in view of the above-described circumstances, and its purpose is to provide various sizes (in order of size) sequentially discharged from a paper discharge port of a cutter unit in a photographic material processing machine. Standard size, panoramic size, etc.)
