2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, ID card issuing systems such as a cash card containing a face photograph, an employee card, an employee card, a member card, a student card, an alien registration card, a passport, a library use card, and various driver's licenses have been developed. It is increasingly used. For example, a company with a large number of employees often employs an employee ID issuing system. In this system, a host computer is provided at the head office, and personal information of employees assigned to the branch office is registered in the computer.

[0003] Here, the personal information means a name, an address, a date of birth, a date of issuance of an employee ID card, an expiration date thereof, and the like.
The personal information is formed on the card member as a character image. For example, when a person who has expired an employee's card at a branch office requests renewal, the person is referred to the head office or branch office for personal information of the employee at the head office computer, and as a result of the inquiry at the head office, When the employee is confirmed to be a registered person at the head office, the employee is issued an employee ID card at the head office. When the number of persons to be updated increases, the employee ID issuance processing is often performed in a flow.

[0004] In this case, the face image of the issuance requester formed on the card member and the personal information of the issuance requester must be in a one-to-one correspondence. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-162490, which is a technical document for this type of employee certificate issuance processing, discloses an ID card creation system.

According to this system, first, a character image including a personal identification number ID is printed on a card member.
Character recognition function (OC)
R), the personal identification number ID read here is detected as coincident with the personal identification number ID added to the face image information, and thereafter, when it is confirmed that they match, The face image is printed on the card member.

[0006] In recent years, with the development of image forming technology, the face image of an issuance requester is often formed on a card member by a color image by an electrophotographic method. FIG.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a main part showing a configuration example of a color employee identification printer 10 according to a conventional example.

In the tandem employee identification printer 10 shown in FIG. 30, a face image is first formed on the card member 30 and then a character image is formed. That is, when the card member 30 is discharged from the hopper 1, the card member 30 is transported from the hopper 1 to the Y-color image forming unit 5. Thereafter, in the Y color image forming unit 5, a yellow face image of the issue requester is formed on the card member 30. And
The card member 30 after the Y color face image is formed is conveyed from the Y color image forming unit 5 to the M color image forming unit 6.

[0008] Thereafter, in the M color image forming unit 6, a magenta face image of the issue requester is formed on the card member 30. Then, the card member 30 after the formation of the Y and M color face images is conveyed from the M color image forming unit 6 to the C color image forming unit 7. In the C-color image forming unit 7, a cyan face image of the issuance requester is formed on the card member 30. Then, the card member 30 after the Y, M, and C color face images are formed is transported from the C color image forming unit 7 to the K color image forming unit 8. In the K color image forming unit 8, a character image such as the name, address, and date of birth of the issue requester is formed on the card member 30. Thus, an employee ID card with a color face image and personal information recorded is completed.

According to the employee identification printer 10, the Y-color image forming unit 5, the M-color image forming unit 6, the C-color image forming unit 7, and the K-color image forming unit 8 perform high-speed image forming processing. For example, buffer memories # 1 to # 6 for six screens are prepared. These buffer memories # 1 to # 6 sequentially store Y-color face image information D1 (Y), M-color face image information D1 (M), C-color face image information D1 (C) and character information D2 for black. It is made to overwrite and store.

According to an example of the contents of the buffer memories # 1 to # 6 shown in FIG. 31, when the personal identification number ID of the issue requester, the face image information D1 and the character information D2 are stored in the buffer memory # 1. The state of the card member 30 indicates that the character image is being printed by the K color image forming unit 8. Similarly, in the buffer memory # 2, the personal identification number ID of the issue requester, the face image information D1, and the character information D
When 2 is stored, the state of the card member 30 indicates that the C color image forming unit 7 is printing a C color face image.

In the buffer memory # 3, the personal identification number ID of the issue requester, the face image information D1 and the character information D2 are stored.
Is stored, the state of the card member 30 is M
This indicates that the M color face image is being printed by the color image forming unit 6. When the personal identification number ID of the issue requester, the face image information D1 and the character information D2 are stored in the buffer memory # 4, the state of the card member 30 is the printing of the Y color face image by the Y color image forming unit 5. It shows the inside.

Further, the personal identification number ID of the issue requester, the face image information D1 and the character information D2 are stored in the buffer memory # 5.
Is stored, the state of the card member 30 indicates that the printing is waiting. When the personal identification number ID of the issue requester, the face image information D1 and the character information D2 are stored in the buffer memory # 6, the state of the card member 30 indicates that the hopper 1 is waiting for discharge.

When the creation of the employee card by the card member 30 relating to the issue requester shown in FIG. 31 is completed, FIG.
Is empty, and the state of the card member 30 according to the issuance requester is as shown in FIG. 32 while the character image is being printed by the K color image forming unit 8.
During printing of the C color face image by the C color image forming unit 7, M
The information is managed such that the information is shifted during printing of the M-color face image by the color image forming unit 6, during printing of the Y-color face image by the Y-color image forming unit 5, and during standby for printing.

[0014]

However, according to the employee ID printer 10 to which the conventional buffer memories # 1 to # 6 are applied, the Y color face image information D1 (Y) and the M color face image information D1 ( M), C color face image information D1 (C) and black character information D2 are sequentially overwritten and stored.

For this reason, as shown in FIG. 33, for example, the buffer memory # 4 should originally store the personal identification number ID of the issue requester, face image information D1 and character information D2. Person's personal identification number I
D, the face image information D1 and the character information D2 are redundantly stored, and thereafter, the personal identification number I of the issue requester is stored.
D, there is a possibility that the buffer memory for storing the face image information D1 and the character information D2 is shifted.

[0016] Accordingly, since the character information relating to the incorrect personal identification number ID having no identity with the personal identification number ID added to the face image information of the issue requester is set in the buffer memory, the face information of the individual is requested. There is a problem that an ID card in which personal information different from an image is recorded is created.

In view of the above, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem. When an ID card is created, an erroneous individual having no identity with the personal identification information added to the face image information of the card issuer is requested.
