Abstract (en)

RFID tag to which predetermined information is written in advance is added to a replenisher cartridge, and the information is read from the RFID tag when the replenisher cartridge is loaded in a photo processing device. Whether or not a loaded replenisher cartridge is a genuine product is judged based on whether or not the predetermined information is written in the tag. When it is judged, based on whether or not the predetermined information is in the tag, that the loaded replenisher cartridge is not the genuine product, a processing speed (carrying speed of photographic paper) is reduced from normal level and at the same time a supply quantity of the replenisher to a processing solution tank is increased from a normal level. This avoids significant reduction in the photo processing performance and enables non-genuine replenisher cartridges to be also used.
