PURPOSE:To largely reduce cost via labor saving and largely improve efficiency by automatically and continuously performing the administrative processing such as charge calculation and slip issuance and the delivery and sort processing at a photograph developing laboratory. CONSTITUTION:A photograph bag 2 fed to a guide conveyor 1 is shifted to a conveyor 8 and passes in front of a bar code reading unit 3. The bar code reading unit 3 reads bar codes C1-C3 attached to the photograph bag 2 and sends the contents as readout signals to an arithmetic control unit 4. The arithmetic control unit 4 retrieves the shop master table in a data memory unit 5 based on the signal in response to the bar code C1 and reads out the corresponding shop data. The arithmetic control unit 4 also reads out the signals in response to the bar codes C2, C3, reads out the unit price corresponding to them, and calculates the charge. On the other hand, when the photograph bag 2 reaches a label issuing/sticking unit 7, a label is stuck by a command from the control unit 4, and the bag 2 is sorted to shelves 91- by a sorting unit 9 respectively. |
