Abstract
A construction for guiding and holding an image recording material such as a photographic paper, including a pair of guide plates, a feed screw, and a control unit. The guide plates are disposed so as to oppose each other and are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. The guide plates are supported so as to be movable in directions of approaching and moving apart from each other. The feed screw supports the pair of guide plates which are moved in the directions of approaching and moving apart from each other by rotating of the feed screw. The control unit causes the feed screw to rotate until the guide plates move to predetermined positions. Thus, the construction for guiding and holding the image recording material can guide and hold the image recording material such that the image recording material is curved in a loop shape and is slack. Consequently, image quality of the image recording material and smooth processing thereof can be ensured.
