Abstract
An imager apparatus for exposing a film with a plurality of recorded images separated by border areas includes an exposure site, a primary film path along which unexposed films are fed to the exposure site, a secondary film path along which exposed films are taken away from the exposure site, and a film driver at the exposure site. The film driver drives films between the primary and the secondary film paths. The film support for holding the film at the exposure site during exposure includes at least one rod on which the film rests. The rod contacts the film at only the border areas.
