FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the process from card issuance of the card issuance processing system according to the embodiment to the process of discharging the card attached to the card, and FIG. It is a figure showing an example of an image and an output result corresponding to this.

The control PC 1 reads out the issued data (S
101), the record number is looped (S102), one record of the issued data is read (S103), and a card issuance instruction is issued to the issuance processing apparatus 2 based on the information in the record (S104).

The issuance processing device 2 is in the standby state (S
201), when a card issuance instruction is received from the control PC 1 (S202), one card is supplied by the card supply unit 2-1 (S202), and the EB issuing unit 2-2 issues an emboss issuance process (S203) and issues an EC. The encoding process (S204) is performed by the unit 2-3, the barcode printing process (S205) is performed by the barcode printing unit 2-4, and the face photo issuance process (S206) is performed by the face photo issuing unit 2-5. Then, the card issuance ends (S207), and S105 of the control PC 1 is completed.
Proceed to.

The control PC 1 determines whether or not the card is a parent card (S105). If the card is a parent card, the control PC 1 performs a sending board printing process as described below. Here, FIG.
(A) In the sending board issuing data, the shaded portion is
All the card target data are shown, and the other part shows parent card exclusive data. The parent card-specific data is “number of pasted sheets, template file name, tray number, folding type, variable data 1 to 3” from the left. The data for all cards is “sticker position, card position” from the left.

First, the control PC 1 designates a template file to be used for the issuance processing device 2 (S106). The issuance processing device 2 reads a template file from the mount template DB 2-7 (S208).

The mount template registration unit 3 inputs fixed text information (S301) and variable text information (S301) in advance.
302), and the mount template is registered in the mount template DB 2-7.

When the control PC 1 indicates a tray number (S
107), the issuance processing apparatus 2 supplies one mount 5 (S210). Next, when the control PC 1 instructs the variable data (S108), the issuance processing device 2 causes the mount printer unit 2-8 to change the variable data 1, as shown in FIG.
2, 3 and the like are printed on the mount 6 (S211).

Next, the control PC 1 instructs the issuance processing device 2 to instruct the number of sheets to be pasted (S109) and to instruct the folding type (S1).
10) and an instruction of the sticker position (S111). Then, the issuance processing device 2 sticks the sticker 7 to the card 6 by the sticker sticking section 2-6 as shown in FIG. 4C (S211). Then, when the control PC 1 designates a card position (S111), the issuance processing device 2 causes the card sticking section 2- as shown in FIG.
At step 9, the card 6 is attached to the mount 5 (S212).

Here, the issuance processing device 2 determines whether or not the number of card attachments has been completed (S213), and if completed, folds the mount 5 with the mount folding unit 2-10 (S214). ), And is discharged to the mount stacker 2-11 (S215). The delivery sheet discharged to the sheet stacker unit 2-11 is enclosed and sealed in a window opening envelope. If the number of attached cards has not been completed, the process returns to S201 to issue the next card and perform the same processing as described above.

Various modifications and changes are possible without being limited to the above-described embodiment, and these are also within the equivalent scope of the present invention. For example, for a card that does not require a barcode or a face photograph, the barcode printing unit 2-4 and the face photograph issuing unit 2-5 may be processed so as to be three.

[0038]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the issue data includes the sending board issuing data, so that the card issuing process, the card sending board printing process, and the card attaching process are performed in-line. In the processing device, the issued data can be managed by one medium. As a result, effects such as reduction of the load of the media management work and elimination of the risk of occurrence of a matching error can be obtained.
