[Problem B to be solved by the invention] By the way, as described above, a device for developing the exposed negative film and a device for exposing and developing the image of the processed negative film onto photographic paper are installed separately. Then, each processed negative film that has been developed or a processed negative film magazine is manually set in a printer and the image of the processed negative film is exposed onto photographic paper. For this reason, the processing is done on a single negative film or magazine basis, and the processing takes time because the film cannot be set in the printer until the development processing is completed. In addition, it requires two steps to set the exposed negative film and 1,000 magazines in the automatic processor, and then to remove the processed negative film and its magazine and set it in the printer. There is a risk of staining the processed negative film with your hands during work. The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive material processing apparatus that can quickly obtain a print recording an image of a negative film by simply setting an exposed negative film. It is said that [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the photosensitive material processing apparatus of the present invention develops an exposed negative film in a negative development processing section, and transfers the processed negative film to a negative transport adjustment means. The image of the processed negative film is exposed onto photographic paper in this printer section, and the exposed photographic paper is automatically conveyed to a paper development processing section via a paper conveyance adjustment means. It is characterized in that the exposed photographic paper is conveyed and developed in this paper development processing section. Further, in the photosensitive material processing apparatus of the present invention, the negative conveyance adjusting means is connected to an achyme part for slackening the processed film and/or
Alternatively, it can be constructed by means of adjusting the exposure time. [Function] In the photosensitive material processing apparatus of the present invention, when an exposed negative film is set in the negative development processing section, it is developed in the negative development processing section, and the processed negative film is automatically conveyed to the printer section. . The printer section then exposes the image of the processed negative film onto photographic paper, and the exposed photographic paper is automatically conveyed to a paper development processing section where it is developed. Therefore, by simply setting the exposed negative film once, the user can automatically obtain a print with a predetermined image recorded thereon. Conveyance of the processed film from the negative developing section to the printing section can be carried out smoothly in a series of continuous processes by means of a negative conveyance adjusting means. [Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings. The figure is a schematic diagram of a photosensitive material processing apparatus according to the present invention. A photosensitive material processing apparatus that continuously transmits external light includes a negative developing section A for developing an exposed negative film, a negative accumulating section B disposed after the negative developing section A, and a negative conveyance adjusting means B.

Processed. Various types of transport mechanism 8 can be employed, but one that transports the negative film by engaging gears with the perforation sun is simple because it does not require the use of a transport leader. A sensor is arranged at a predetermined position (not shown) in this transport mechanism 8, and controls a signal that allows the insertion of the next exposed negative film, and after a certain period of time, the set exposed negative film is transported and developed. It has become. Furthermore, the film supply section 1 is equipped with a tongue ejecting mechanism for taking out the negative film rolled up in the cartridge. Negative conveyance adjustment means B Negative conveyance adjustment means B can be constituted by an Achieme section. In this case, it is arranged after the drying section 7 of the negative development processing section A, and the exposure time varies depending on the exposed negative film, and the negative conveyance adjustment means B can be constituted by an Achieme section. Since the printer speed is not constant, the difference in processing speed between the negative developing section A and the printer section C is adjusted by slackening the processed negative film. This negative akeme section is provided with an upper guide 9 and a lower guide 10 for guiding the negative film, and the lower guide 10 is closed when no negative film is accumulated, and automatically opens when negative film is accumulated. There is. Further, the negative conveyance adjusting means B can be constituted by means for adjusting the exposure time. For example, when the exposure time is extremely long, adjustments are made such as not exposing that frame and moving on to the next frame. Printer Section C The printer section C exposes an image of a processed negative film onto photographic paper, and the processed negative film is supplied to a position below the lamp house 11 and wound into a negative film magazine 12, for example. The lamp house 11 is equipped with a print lamp 13 and a control filter 14, and the light from the print lamp 13 is irradiated onto the processed negative film through the control filter 14, and the photographic paper is exposed by the action of an enlarger lens 15 and an exposure shutter 16. be done.

This printer section C is equipped with a scanner mechanism, and for example, a DDC camera (not shown) measures a negative image, automatically corrects the print density, and then exposes the image. Furthermore, if the exposure time is extremely long, the exposure for that frame is not performed and the process moves to the next frame. Furthermore, this printer section C has a mechanism for determining the exposure frame and automatically exposes each frame. In addition, in order to automatically print more prints after the printing process, the printer section C is provided with a mechanism that allows the processed negative film to be set and exposed from the outside. Furthermore, at the time of setting processed negative film, it has a function that allows printing of two or more copies for each frame to be specified. Furthermore, the size of the photographic paper can be changed by switching. Paper Conveyance Adjustment Means D The paper conveyance adjustment means D can be composed of a paper conveyor, and in this case, it is placed after the printer section C, and the exposure time varies depending on the exposed negative film, so that the printing speed at the printer section C is adjusted. Since the speed is not constant, the difference in processing speed is adjusted by exposing the photographic paper to a certain amount of light, cutting it with a cutter, and sending it to the paper development processing section E. Further, the paper conveyance adjustment means can be constituted by an on/off means for performing exposure. Paper development processing section E The paper development processing section E develops exposed photographic paper, and includes a color developing solution tank 18, a bleach-fixing tank solution 19, and a waterless washing stabilizing solution tank, in which exposed photographic papers are arranged next to each other in sequence. 20 and a drying section 21 via a conveyance mechanism 22, and is developed (6
