Abstract
A photographic film is provided with decimal numbers and bar codes both representative of serial frame numbers. When a sensor reads a bar code, measurement of the advanced length of the photographic film is started to obtain a distance of either the bar code or the decimal number relative to the sensor. After the positioning of a frame to be printed in a film framing mask at the printing station, a fram e number represented by a decimal number or bar code whose moved distance is within a predetermined range of distances is selected, thereby identifying the picture frame in the film framing mask to have the drawn frame number.
