Abstract
A travel roller moves between the initial and the end points in a loosening unit while supporting a photosensitive material to thereby form a loop thereof. A first sensor, for detecting that the travel roller locates on the end point, is provided in the loosening unit. When it is not detected at the end of recording that the travel roller locates on the end point, a portion of the photosensitive material is cut off, whereby the photosensitive material is divided into a sheet with a reproduced image and an unexposed photosensitive material. The unexposed photosensitive material is rewound until a leading edge portion thereof reaches a recording unit, and then an image to be reproduced next is recorded onto the unexposed photosensitive material.
