PURPOSE:To improve the photo ordering/processing efficiency by automating the jobs including the registration of photo ordering through the allocation at each photo processing stage. CONSTITUTION:A bar code 3 is printed at the blank part 2 of a DP bag 1 to show the processing contents. Both a shop No. and a DP bag No. are previously recorded to the bag 1 in the numeric characters or a bar code. Then a clerk in charge at a developing center reads both the shop No. and the DP bag No. when the photo processing order is received and then registers them to a host computer, etc. Hereafter the inquires are possible to the reception of the photo ordering. The processing contents data on the code 3 read by a bar code reader 22 is sent to an allocating device 100. Then the device 100 allocates the bags 1 according to the processing contents.
