Abstract
An image recording carrier such a film which falls by gravity from a film magazine is gripped by a roller pair, which is rotated in a direction opposite to the direction in which the image recording carrier is fed toward a scanning unit. The image recording carrier is thus released from the roller pair, and then the image recording carrier is pressed by a presser and positioned in a direction normal to the carrier delivering direction by a positioning member located above the roller pair. Thereafter, the image recording carrier is delivered to the scanning unit. The image recording carrier can always be positioned to establish a stable position to start recording an image on or reading an image from the image recording carrier.
