Claims
- 1. A film information communication apparatus for use with a photograph-printing apparatus comprising:
- a picture reading mechanism for reading information recorded in a photosensitive emulsion layer associated with each frame in a developed photographic film having a photosensitive emulsion layer and a magnetic recording layer;
- a magnetic recording and reading mechanism for reading information recorded in the magnetic recording layer of said developed photographic film;
- a film information reading mechanism for reading information, associated with each respective film frame, recorded in a portion of the film other than the photosensitive emulsion layer and the magnetic recording layer, respectively;
- a communication control device for receiving the information read by each said reading mechanism with respect to each respective film frame and outputting said information;
- a printer in said photograph-printing apparatus operative to print information produced by the communication control device;
- said mechanisms and said communication control device being disposed separately from said photograph-printing apparatus and from each other and being operative to convey photograph-printing information to said printer; and
- a communication cable operative to convey said photograph printing information between said communication control device, said mechanisms and said printer.
- 2. The film information communication apparatus of claim 1, wherein the magnetic recording and reading mechanism writes printing correction information in the developed photographic film.
- 3. The film information communication apparatus of claim 1, including a display operative to show index print information from the printing information.
- 4. The film information communication apparatus of any one of claims 1 and 2, wherein the printer outputs index print information from the printing information.
- 5. The film information communication apparatus of any one of claims 1 and 2, including a display for showing index print information out of the printing information.
- 6. The film information communication apparatus of any one of claims 1 and 2, wherein the printer prints out back print information from the printing information.
- 7. The film information communication apparatus of claim 6, wherein the back print information is printed on an adhesive sheet.
- 8. A film information printing apparatus for use with a photograph-printing apparatus comprising:
- at least one of a mechanism for reading optically readable information preliminarily recorded in a photosensitive emulsion layer in a developed photographic film including a photosensitive emulsion layer and a magnetic recording layer and a mechanism for reading information preliminarily recorded in the magnetic recording medium;
- a recording paper printing mechanism for printing the recording information read by the reading mechanism of the film information on a recording paper, said mechanisms being disposed separately from said photograph-printing apparatus and being operative to convey photograph-printing information received to a separate communication control device; and
- a communication cable operative to convey printing information from said communication control device to said photographic-printing apparatus.
- 9. The film information printing apparatus of claim 8, wherein the apparatus further includes a display mechanism for displaying the information read by the reading mechanism of film information.
- 10. The film information printing apparatus of any one of claims 8 and 9, wherein the apparatus further includes a paper printing mechanism for printing information read by the reading mechanism of film information on the reverse side and/or surface of the printed and developed paper.
- 11. The film information printing apparatus of claim 10, wherein the magnetic recording layer of said developed photographic film is writable, and the apparatus includes a writing mechanism and a keyboard for writing magnetic recording information on said developed photographic film.
- 12. The film information printing apparatus of any one of claims 8 and 9, wherein the apparatus further includes a picture reading mechanism for reading pictures taken in the photosensitive emulsion layer of said developed photographic film, and an index print mechanism for printing picture data read by the picture reading mechanism in one or plural sheets.
- 13. The film information printing apparatus of claim 12, wherein the apparatus further includes a paper printing mechanism for printing information read by the reading mechanism of the film information on the reverse side and/or surface of the printed developed paper.
- 14. The film information printing apparatus of claim 12, wherein the magnetic recording layer of said developed photographic film is writable, and the apparatus includes a writing mechanism and a keyboard for writing magnetic recording information on said developed photographic film.
