<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer which enables a card owner to acknowledge the status that a rewritable film has degraded. <P>SOLUTION: The printer reads the number of times for recording to the rewritable film which has been recorded in an IC chip contained by a rewritable card. When the recording number of times exceeds a predetermined threshold value, printing data and a mark for exclusive use is printed in the rewritable film with the pattern different from usual one (pattern until exceeding the threshold value) by controlling the applied heat. For example, the different pattern makes the coloring to be changed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
