The following description will be given along the optical path. Reference numeral 8 denotes an image-forming transmission original, which is composed of, for example, a 35nun size slide film (hereinafter referred to as slide). This slide 8 is housed in a slide holder (not shown). 9 is a first mirror that bends the optical path, and the angle of this mirror 9 is fixed. Reference numeral 10 denotes a projection lens, which projects the contents of the slide 8 onto a monitor screen 2 or a photosensitive recording medium 14.
image is formed. A color separation filter unit 11 selectively transmits only light in a predetermined wavelength range from the light transmitted through the slide 8, and exposes the photosensitive recording medium 14. The color separation filter unit 11 is switched by a drive motor (not shown).

12 is an optical path switching mirror, and when the optical path switching mirror 12 is in the state shown by the solid line, the image of the slide 8 is projected onto the monitor screen 2. When the optical path switching mirror 12 is in the state shown by the broken line, the image of the slide 8 is transferred to the photosensitive recording medium 14.
It is designed to be projected onto This mirror 12 is driven by a motor (not shown). Further, when the photosensitive recording medium 14 is exposed, the mirror 12 blocks stray light from the monitor screen 2 side, so that the photosensitive recording medium 14 is not exposed to stray light. Reference numeral 13 denotes an exposure table, which is made of a transparent acrylic plate, glass, or the like. This allows the interior of the copying machine to be protected when the side MIA is opened. 14 is a photosensitive recording medium; 15 is a sheet roll around which an unused photosensitive recording medium is wound; the photosensitive recording medium 14 and the sheet roll 15 are housed in a cassette 16 that protects the photosensitive recording medium 14. 16A is a sheet winding roller, which is rotated by a drive motor (not shown). 1
A pressure developing roller 7 is used to visualize the latent image formed on the photosensitive recording medium 14 by the hardened amount of microcapsules on the color developing paper 20. The microcapsules that have been cured by being exposed to light in the sensitive wavelength range are transferred to a pressure developing roller 17.
It will not be destroyed even after passing through. Furthermore, when the uncured microcapsules pass through the pressure developing roller 17, they are destroyed, and the dye precursor encapsulated within the microcapsules reacts with the color developer coated on the surface of the color developer paper 20 to develop color. Reference numeral 18 denotes a heat fixing roller, which is used to promote color development reaction on the color developing paper 20.
