A method of supplying cartons to a carton-packaging machine, comprising the steps of providing flattened cartons stacked in a line in a container package so that two cutouts on the cartons are lined to form two grooves on two parallel sides of the cartons; inserting two bar-shaped forks into the grooves respectively in the stacking direction of the cartons; pressing the cartons to be together along the inserting direction of the bar-shaped forks by pressers, which are adjustable for a different stacking amount of the cartons, so that the cartons are placed at the central portion of the bar-shaped forks; pulling out the cartons from the package with the bar-shaped forks; and supplying the cartons to the carton-packaging machine with the bar-shaped forks.

The invention provides an apparatus for optically writing a data onto a non-exposed film being coated with photosensive material while moving the film to a predetermined direction. The data represents a film frame No., photosensitive emulsion lot No. and so on. The apparatus has two groups of LEDs being arranged with a pitch in parallel two lines being crossing at right angles to a film proceeding direction. The disposing position of LEDs on the one line differs by half of the pitch from that on another line. Therefore, the center of light spot on the one of spotted parallel line irradiated on the film does not face with that on another spotted line along the film proceeding direction. Further, the emission timings of the two groups of light emission sources are respectively controlled to have some time lag therebetween, thereby superposing partially the parallel two spotted lines.
