Abstract: Contents are supplied from a studio to a plant through a CD-R disc. In the plant, when it is determined that the contents have not been encrypted in accordance with Info_Sheet, a module encrypts the contents with different keys. A key locker creating portion groups the plurality of keys with which the contents have been encrypted, encrypts grouped keys with a disc key, and creates a key locker. A disc image creating portion creates image data to be recorded on a product CD with contents of a first session and a second session and the key locker. In accordance with the image data, the CD is produced. Since keys with which contents have been encrypted are grouped and encrypted, the keys can be prevented from leaking out.

Abstract: An autochanger which can continuously operate a video printing apparatus without having recourse to intervention by an operator which includes a paper feed tray for containing a plurality of recording media and/or an ink ribbon cartridge are loaded in the video printer device to selectively change them as the occasion demands, a magazine which can contain a plurality of paper feed trays and/or ink ribbon cartridges and a conveyance means of paper feed tray and/or ink ribbon cartridge for conveying the paper feed tray and/or the ink ribbon cartridge between the video printer device and the magazine. Therefore, the paper feed tray and the ink ribbon cartridge of the video printer device can be changed by the conveyance means as the occasion demands, so as to realize an autochanger which can continuously operate a video printer device without having recourse to intervention by an operator.

Abstract: In a printing apparatus, a relatively long film having a photosensitive surface composed of photosensitive microcapsules is withdrawn from a supply spool and selectively exposed to light to form a photographed film frame prior to being passed through a nip between urged-together press rollers and then wound onto a take-up spool, sheets of developing paper are delivered one at a time by a paper supply roller from a stack of the sheets for passage between the press rollers with each delivered sheet facing a respective exposed area of the film so as to be pressed together therewith, and a roller drive assembly including a first reversible motor operative in first and second directions in printing and rewinding modes, respectively, a first transmission including a first one-way clutch through which the first motor drives the paper supply roller means only when the first motor operates in the first direction in the printing mode, a second transmission including a second one-way clutch through which the supply spoo

Abstract: In an apparatus for developing a picture on a sheet of developing paper from an exposed sheet of photo-sensitive material by pressing together the sheets of developing paper and photo-sensitive material, and in which such sheets in contact with each other are intermittently transported in a predetermined direction of sheet travel across a back-up surface, and a rotatable roller having its axis of rotation extending substantially at right angles to a longitudinal median of the back-up surface is transported relative to the back-up surface in directions parallel to the longitudinal median thereof while the roller is urged toward the back-up surface with the sheets of developing paper and photo-sensitive material therebetween so as to be pressed together at a relatively narrow stripe-like area defined by the rolling path of the peripheral surface of the roller; standby surfaces extend from the opposite ends of the back-up surface and are raised relative to the latter for defining shoulders therebetween by which

Abstract: An electrostatic printing apparatus of the ion-flow type for printing an image on record paper in response to an information signal includes a corona generator for generating ions; a back electrode over which the paper travels for producing a bias potential to cause the generated ions to flow from the corona generator toward the back electrode onto the recording paper; a control electrode interposed between the corona generator and the back electrode for controlling the flow of ions therebetween and including a plurality of apertures through which the ions are adapted to flow; and a control signal generator for supplying a control signal to the control electrode to cause the latter to control the amount of ion flow through each aperture, in response to the level of the information signal, to a first amount corresponding to an area on the paper which is black, a second amount corresponding to an area on the paper which is white, or at least one other amount corresponding to at least one area on the paper which
