Photographic printing system

摘要

A photographic printing system comprising a printer-processor; a plurality of non-contact IC cards in which various printing conditions, printer-processor operating conditions, and the like are stored; and an IC card read-write unit for reading and writing data on the above-mentioned conditions. The plurality of IC cards are used selectively according to printing purposes and are inserted into the read-write unit. When the selected IC card is inserted into the read-write unit, the read-write unit accesses the data stored in the IC card to set the printer-processor automatically to the printing and operating conditions suitable for the printing purpose. After printing, the read-write unit writes the printing conditions and conditions under which the printer-processor has acutally been operated in the IC card.
