An image projecting apparatus for projecting on an image receiving body an image on a microfilm incorporated in a cartridge is disclosed. This apparatus is provided with a cartridge loader for supporting a container for accommodating a plurality of cartridges. The cartridges in the container are disposed toward the cartridge holder provided for the image projecting apparatus to allow search of the microfilms held therein. The cartridges holding microfilms which have undergone the search are discharged from the cartridge holder. When the cartridge loader is adapted to allow attachment thereto of one container, the cartridges are taken out of the container and, after completion of the retrieval, the cartridges are returned to the container. When the cartridge loader is arranged to permit detachable attachment thereto of a first container for accommodating unsearched cartridges and a second container for accommodating searched cartridges, the cartridges which have undergone the search are returned to the second container after the cartridges in the first container have been attached to the cartridge holder and subjected to the search. When the cartridges in the first container are emptied, the first container is located at the position formerly occupied by the second container.

Disclosed is a reader printer having an image rotation prism for adapting the direction of a microfilm image to suitable direction. The reader-printer has an image direction detecting means for forming the microfilm image successfully onto a copy paper without consideration of the direction of the image. The reader-printer also has a prism orientation detecting means for automatically eliminating difference between a location of the image and a location of the fed paper.
