Abstract
A photographic paper handling apparatus for handling a photographic paper in a continuous form having a plurality of images sequentially printed thereon in the longitudinal direction thereof is provided with a cutting-perforating section and a folding section. In the cutting-perforating section, the photographic paper which is transported along a photographic paper transport passage is cut into pieces each including a series of images printed in accordance with the order placed by each individual customer, and a perforation is provided in an area of each of the cut pieces of photographic paper which is defined between each pair of adjacent images. In the folding section, each of the cut and perforated pieces of photographic paper is folded along each perforation. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent prints processed in accordance with one order from being mixed with those in accordance with another order.
