Abstract
In order to avoid misfeeds from tray-loaded film, a lateral slit is provided through a backing sheet of composite media in a middle portion of a leader region where the film is adhered on both sides of the lateral slit to the backing sheet, thereby allowing the backing sheet to expand or contract at a different rate than the adjacent film.
