PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to successfully discharge a printed original onto an original discharge base by providing an original frame with an attraction means capable of pushing out the original toward the original discharge base in the state of attracting the original. SOLUTION: A frame moves first and the original frame 100 moves to above the original discharge base 13 and stops. A piston rod 153 of a cylinder 151 is extended above the original discharge base 13 after the original frame 100 is stopped. A suction pad 107, then, projects forward toward the original discharge base 13 from the surface of the original frame 100 in the state of sucking the original. The original, etc., are pushed out to the position near the original discharge base 13 while the original, etc., are held attracted to the suction pad 107. The vacuum of the suction groove and the suction pad 107 are released in this state and simultaneously air is blown out of the suction groove. The original plate, etc., are blown toward the original discharge base 13 by the air blown out of the suction groove and, therefore, the original, etc., are nearly surely captured by the film receiver at the bottom end of the original discharge base 13.
