Printer and digital camera including printer

A printer comprising:

• a transport roller pair that transports a film unit including a developer pod containing a developer;
• an exposure unit that exposes an image onto the film unit transported by the transport roller pair;
• a spreading roller pair that is disposed on a downstream side in a transport direction with respect to the transport roller pair and spreads the developer into a gap of the film unit by crushing the developer pod of the exposed film unit;
• a spreading control member that is positioned between the transport roller pair and the spreading roller pair in the transport direction, extends in a width direction of the film unit, and controls the developer spread into the gap of the film unit by rubbing the film unit;
• a mechanical switch that is positioned on a side opposite to the spreading control member with a transport passage of the film unit and positioned between the transport roller pair and the spreading roller pair, wherein the mechanical switch is turned on by being pressed by a distal end of the film unit;
• and
• a first metal member that is positioned on a side opposite to the spreading control member with a transport passage of the film unit, and elastically presses the film unit against the spreading control member.
