PURPOSE: To shorten a time from reading an image till housing a photographic printing paper in a photographic printing paper housing equipment by loading the photographic printing paper whose image has been read to an external member which is mounted at a other side housing port and supplying the photographic printing paper from any side housing port.

CONSTITUTION: This device is provided with 1st and 2nd housing ports 11 and 19 to which the photographic printing paper housing equipment is mounted, a 1st supplying means 43 which takes out the photographic printing paper 8 from the housing member 4 of the photographic printing paper housing equipment mounted to one housing port and supplies it to an image reading position, and a 2nd supplying means 73 which supplies the photographic printing paper 8 whose image has been read from the image reading position to the external member of the photographic printing paper housing equipment mounted to the other housing port. Then, the photographic printing paper 8 is supplied from either of the housing ports. Thus, the time for housing the photographic printing paper is shortened and operability is improved.
