Photosensitive material processing apparatus and photosensitive material

A photosensitive material processing apparatus comprising:

• a printer section for recording an image on photosensitive material by exposure;
• a processor section for photographic development of said photosensitive material being exposed;
• a photosensitive material sensor for checking exiting of a preceding photosensitive material from said processor section;
• a drier section for drying said photosensitive material being developed;
• a type discerning unit for discerning type information of a type of said photosensitive material;
• a condition information generator for generating information of a processing condition according to said type information being discerned, so as to control at least one of said printer section, said processor section and said drier section;
• and
• a transporting mechanism for transporting said photosensitive material in said printer section, said processor section and said drier section serially,
• wherein said processing condition includes a transporting speed at which said transporting mechanism transports said photosensitive material, and
• wherein after exiting of said preceding photosensitive material from said processor section, said transporting mechanism operates at said transporting speed determined newly.
