Abstract
An image recording machine has a plurality of light sources capable of emitting light independently for exposing a part of a photographic film without causing double exposure and with a printing controller. At least one of the light sources is caused to flash continuously for printing codes for timing during film transport, other light sources are caused to flash in synchronization with flashing of the light source for printing codes for photographing information, and the light source for printing the codes for photographing information is caused to flash for printing reference codes which are to be the judgment standards for the codes for photographing information.
Claims11
A method for processing a plurality of frames recorded on a photographic material in accordance with photographic information on each of said frames, said method comprising:
- transporting the photosensitive material;
- exposing said photosensitive material intermittently to record a timing code by a light source during transportation of said material;
- exposing said photosensitive material to record a photographic information code, disposed parallel to said timing code, representing photographic information related to each of the frames by said light source in synchronization with said timing code;
- providing an initial position indicating code representing a positional reference for recognizing each of said frames;
- providing a reference code representing a standard for judging said photographic information code;
- reading said position indicating code during transportation of said material to recognize one of said frames being processed;
- reading said reference code during transportation of said material;
- reading said photographic information code in synchronization with said timing code corresponding to said position indicating code;
- comparing said photographic information code with said reference code to generate a photographic information signal corresponding to said frame;
- and
- processing said frame based on said photographic information signal.
