Abstract
The invention relates to a photographic recording arrangement for the recording of photographic images onto a band-shaped medium, with a medium source which a supplies a band-shaped medium, with a clamping arrangement which provides a clamping track and a band-shaped medium output at the beginning of the track through which the band-shaped medium is supplied by the medium source along which clamping track the band-shaped medium is guided and tightened and at the end of which track the guided band-shaped medium is clamped by a first holding mechanism for tightening, with at least one recording apparatus for the recording of images onto the tightened band-shaped medium. The device further includes a second holding mechanism which can clamp the band-shaped medium and is moveable relative to the clamping arrangement, a transport mechanism which is constructed for transferring the band-shaped medium between the first and the second holding mechanisms, when the first holding mechanism by movement of the clamping arrangement relative to the second holding mechanism has been brought into a first preselected position relative to the second holding mechanism; and a control which is constructed for the transfer of the band-shaped medium in such a way that it actuates one of the two holding mechanisms for release of the clamped band-shaped medium and, in the first preselected position, actuates the transfer mechanism in order to transfer the released band-shaped medium from one of the two holding mechanisms to the other.
