Abstract
A device for automatically loading an image recording apparatus with a web of a photosensitive recording medium includes a first belt for conveying a mask original into an exposure unit, and a mechanism facing the belt and movably supported on a frame so as to be movable toward and away from the first belt. The mechanism and the belt define therebetween a path along which the web travels. The mechanism includes at least a pair of spaced rollers, and a second belt entrained by the rollers. Cams are provided for moving the mechanism to bring the second belt into intimate contact with the first belt, so that the leading end of the web may be held between the two belts. The first belt is moved to enable the web to travel along its path. The web is further conveyed to a predetermined position where the leading end of the web is in sliding contact with the peripheral surface of a take-up roller. Since the take-up roller carries an adhesive layer on the periphery thereof, the web is wound around the take-up roller.
