Abstract:
Photographic recording device for the recording of photographic images onto a band shaped medium, comprising:a medium source for supplying the band-shaped medium; a clamping arrangement for providing a clamping along which the band-shaped medium can be guided and tightened and at the beginning of which the band-shaped medium is supplied; a first holding mechanism located at an end of the clamping track for clamping the band-shaped medium supplied from the medium source; at least one recording apparatus for recording images onto band-shaped medium tightened along the clamping track; a second holding mechanism for clamping the band-shaped medium, the second holding mechanism being moveable relative to the clamping arrangement; a transport mechanism for transporting the band-shaped medium between the first and second holding mechanisms, when the first holding mechanism by movement of the clamping arrangement relative to the second holding mechanism was moved into a first preselected position relative to the second holding mechanism; and a control for transferring the band-shaped medium by selectively actuating the two holding mechanisms in order to release the clamped band-shaped medium, and for operating the transport mechanism in the first preselected position for transporting the released band-shaped medium from one of the first and second holding mechanisms to the other.
