Abstract
Light is irradiated onto a photographic film which is conveyed by a film carrier. A compressor generates cooling air for cooling the photographic film. A guide pipe guides the cooling air generated by the compressor to at least one of a region of the photographic film, onto which the light is irradiated, and a reverse surface of the region. In this way, since the cooling air generated by the compressor is guided to the photographic film, the photographic film can be cooled by the cooling air having large amount of flow, velocity of flow, or the like.
