Abstract
Abstract A method of printing exposed photographic film, comprises the steps of: storing on a first storage medium frame information containing at least the exposure information on, and the frame number of, exposed photographic film; printing an image from the photographic film into photographic paper on the basis of the exposure information stored on the first storage medium; and storing the aforesaid frame information on a second storage medium in the printing order of the printed image frame. Accordingly, the image printed on the photographic paper correctly corresponds to the frame information associated with this image.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A method of printing exposed photographic film, comprising the steps of: (a) storing on a first storage medium frame information containing at least exposure information on and the frame number of exposed photographic film; (b) printing an image from said exposed photographic film onto photographic paper on the basis of said exposure information stored on said first storage medium; (c) storing on a second storage medium said frame information and information indicating whether it is necessary to print character information on said photographic paper of said printed image so that the printing order of said printed image frame can be confirmed; and (d) printing a character on said photographic paper on which said image has been printed in response to said information stored on said second storage medium.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
128 words
A method of printing exposed photographic film, comprising the steps of: (a) storing on a first storage medium frame information containing at least exposure information on and the frame number of exposed photographic film; (b) printing an image from said exposed photographic film onto photographic paper on the basis of said exposure information stored on said first storage medium; (c) storing on a second storage medium said frame information and information indicating whether it is necessary to print character information on said photographic paper of said printed image so that the printing order of said printed image frame can be confirmed; and (d) printing a character on said photographic paper on which said image has been printed in response to said information stored on said second storage medium.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method of printing exposed photographic film according to claim 1, wherein said first storage medium and said second storage medium are mutually different types of storage media.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method of printing exposed photographic film according to claim 1, wherein said step (d) is executed on the basis of said information stored on said second storage medium in said step (c).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
80 words
A method of printing exposed photographic film according to claim 4, wherein, in said step (d), whether or not said process of printing a character is required is determined for each individual image printed on said photographic paper on the basis of said information stored on said second storage medium; if it is determined that said process of printing a character is required with regards to a particular image, said process is executed with respect to only said particular image.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
