Abstract:
A control system for finishing solution in a finishing processing section used in a photosensitive material processing device for processing a photosensitive material using processing solution while transporting the photosensitive material using transporting rollers, the finishing processing section performing desensitizing processing on the surface of the photosensitive material using finishing solution comprising:a pair of transporting rollers provided in at least the finishing processing section for imparting transporting force to the photosensitive material by nipping the photosensitive material and transporting it through the finishing processing section; a washing device for washing the pair of transporting rollers using dilution water for diluting stock solution of the finishing solution; a stop mode determining section for selecting any one of a temporary stop mode when a state in which an operation of the photosensitive material processor is stopped lasts for a comparatively short time, and a complete stop mode when a state in which an operation of the photosensitive material processor is stopped lasts for a comparatively long time; and a washing control mechanism for operating the washing device when the complete stop mode is selected in the determining section, and for stopping the photosensitive material processing device from operating without operating the washing device, and operating the washing device when the photosensitive material processing device is restarted after a predetermined time has elapsed when the temporary stop mode is selected.
