A thermal developing apparatus having a recording section 16 for exposing a thermal developing photosensitive material or a photosensitive thermal recording material (hereinafter referred to as a “thermal developing recording material”) to form a latent image, a control section A for controlling the recording section 16, and a thermal developing section 18 for heating the thermal developing recording material by a heating member to carry out thermal development, comprising a sensor B1 for measuring the surface temperature of a presser roller of the thermal developing section 18 and a light amount correcting circuit A1 for correcting an amount of recording light of the thermal developing recording material based on the output of the sensor B1, the amount of light of the light amount correcting circuit A1 being corrected to reduce the amount of light when the surface temperature of the presser roller is raised.
An image recording method of a thermal developing apparatus, in which a recording section for exposing a thermal developing photosensitive material or a photosensitive thermal recording material (hereinafter referred to as a “thermal developing recording material”) to forma latent image, a control section for controlling the recording section, and a thermal developing section for heating the thermal developing recording material by a heating member to carry out thermal development are provided, comprising the steps of;
A thermal developing apparatus, having a recording section for exposing a thermal developing recording material to form a latent image, a control section for controlling the recording section, and a thermal developing section for heating the thermal developing recording material by a heating member to carry out thermal development, comprising:
An image recording method of a thermal developing apparatus, in which a recording section for exposing a thermal developing recording material to form a latent image, a control section for controlling the recording section, and a thermal developing section for heating the thermal developing recording material by a heating member to carry out thermal development are provided, wherein in the case in which a temperature of the thermal developing section does not reach a predetermined developing start temperature (hereinafter referred to as “heat-up uncompletion”) and the temperature of the thermal developing section which can give a sufficient density for a diagnosis has already been reached or the temperature of the thermal developing section which is enough for the diagnosis can be expected to be reached at time of development, image recording can be executed in response to an instruction of a user.
