Abstract
The feeding of a photosensitive material is automatically controlled to a desired length corresponding the size or volume of an additional image to be printed so that manual data input operations can be minimized. The volume of the additional image is estimated from attribute data detected by an attribute data detector and used for determining the location of printing the image on the photo-sensitive material. Also, the orientation of the image to be printed is determined from data of a vertical position detector. With reference to those information, the length of feeding and the location of cutting marks for the photosensitive material are calculated. Resultant signals are fed to a double exposure means, a cutting-mark applying means, and a photosensitive material transfer means for optimum control of exposure actions.
