Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0447878A2] An automatic film processor sets new reference developer chemical temperatures and film transport speeds in accordance with user input at a keypad (45) and establishes a new delay time to provide constant fixed spacing along the transport path between trailing edge of one film sheet and leading edge of a next film sheet regardless of transport speed. "Wait" and "ready" lights (54, 55) are controlled to signal when a next sheet is to be fed. A microcomputer (43) calculates the delay time and loads a counter (60). A buzzer (58) signals countdown to zero. <IMAGE>
