Abstract
A photographic processing apparatus includes a replenisher supplying mechanism for forcibly supplying a remaining portion of a replenisher if the replenisher remains in a replenisher container or pack when the processing of a predetermined quantity of photosensitive material has been finished and a controlling mechanism which displays an abnormality message on a display if the forcibly supplied quantity of replenisher has exceeded a predetermined quantity. If it is detected that the replenisher pack has become empty before the processing of the predetermined quantity of photosensitive material is finished, the abnormality message is displayed. If all the quantities of replenishers forcibly supplied from a plurality of replenisher packs are not more than predetermined quantities, only a message for replacing the replenisher packs is displayed. If the quantity of replenisher forcibly supplied from one of the replenisher packs is not more than the predetermined quantity, and if the replenisher pack has become empty before the processing of the predetermined quantity of photosensitive material is finished, both the abnormality message and the replace message are displayed. It is thus possible to ascertain the timing of replacing a replenisher pack not provided with a level sensor and to ascertain the state of a replenisher pump.
