Abstract
Abstract A mechanism for changing a guide width is provided to automatically change a width of a width guide depending upon papers differ from each other in true width in spite of the same nominal size. The mechanism comprises a width guide, a pulse motor for moving the width guide in a width direction of the paper, a detecting board with detecting holes attached to a guide member of the width guide and a position sensor detecting a standard position of the detecting holes, and is provided to move the guide member only a distance of indicated pulses from the standard position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
A method for changing a guide width depending upon a width of a photosensitive material in a photo-processing apparatus, comprising: determining a plurality of kinds of standard guide widths corresponding one by one to each of a plurality kinds of nominal sizes of photosensitive materials, and correcting the guide width in a direction of extension and/or reduction relating to each standard guide width depending upon a true width of the photosensitive material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
72 words
A method for changing a guide width depending upon a width of a photosensitive material in a photo-processing apparatus, comprising: determining a plurality of kinds of standard guide widths corresponding one by one to each of a plurality kinds of nominal sizes of photosensitive materials, and correcting the guide width in a direction of extension and/or reduction relating to each standard guide width depending upon a true width of the photosensitive material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
106 words
A mechanism for changing a guide width depending upon a width of a photosensitive material in a photo-processing apparatus, comprising: a driving means for moving a width guide in a width direction of a photosensitive material; a detecting means for detecting a position of the width guide; and an indication means for indicating to the driving means a standard position of the width guide corresponding one by one to a nominal size of the photosensitive material, depending upon the nominal size of the photosensitive material, and for further indicating to the driving means a necessary removal distance from the standard position depending upon a true width.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
106 words
A mechanism for changing a guide width depending upon a width of a photosensitive material in a photo-processing apparatus, comprising: a driving means for moving a width guide in a width direction of a photosensitive material; a detecting means for detecting a position of the width guide; and an indication means for indicating to the driving means a standard position of the width guide corresponding one by one to a nominal size of the photosensitive material, depending upon the nominal size of the photosensitive material, and for further indicating to the driving means a necessary removal distance from the standard position depending upon a true width.
