To supply a roll shape photographic paper to an exposure unit in a state while a loop of a necessary size is formed at the paper.
A supply unit U1 is configured so that the photographic paper P of a photographic paper magazine M is sent to a carrier 19 via each of an introduction roller 13, a cutter 15 and send rollers 16, and then a leading end of the photographic paper P held by a holding member 18 of the carrier 19 is delivered to the exposure unit U2. A processing form is set so that a control device for controlling the supply unit U1 forms an enough slack at a loop formation part L by sending out the photographic paper P from the introduction roller 13 after the leading end of the photographic paper P is moved to the side of the exposure unit U2 by the carrier 19, and delivers the leading end of the photographic paper P to the exposure unit U2 after the slack is formed.
