Photographic paper accommodating apparatus

A photographic paper accommodating apparatus is disposed on the downstream side of a printing section for transporting an exposed continuous photographic paper to a subsequent step. A pair of first clamping and transporting rollers are disposed on the downstream side of the printing section so as to clamp and transport the photographic paper and form a first loop of photographic paper between the printing section and the rollers. A pair of second clamping and transporting rollers are disposed on the downstream side of the first clamping and transporting rollers so as to clamp and transport the photographic paper and form a second loop of photographic paper between the first and second clamping and transporting rollers. The apparatus is further provided with a flap which is movable between a first position at which the flap guides the photographic paper toward the first clamping and transporting rollers, and a second position at which the flap guides the photographic paper toward the second clamping and transporting rollers. Accordingly, it is possible to resume the exposure operation at the printing section even when it has been suspended immediately prior thereto.
