ABSTRACT:
A printer processor, a film processor, and a densitometer are connected to a personal computer via a port controller. To diagnose the operational condition of photographic apparatus, the apparatus forms a check sample. The check sample is sent to the densitometer to fetch the measured density data into the personal computer. If the operational condition of the photographic apparatus is abnormal, the personal computer fetches the operational data under management in the photographic apparatus to determine a countermeasure for the abnormal state. The countermeasure is transferred to the photographic apparatus to adjust the adjust failure element automatically. In order to control a plurality of lab shops remotely, each lab shop is provided with a sub-computer connected to the photographic apparatus. The headquarters are provided with a main computer storing therein a management program. The main computer fetches the data of the sub-computer via a communication line. In accordance with the fetched data, the headquarters control the quality, production state, and stock stage of consumable goods at each lab shop remotely. The port controller finds the idle time of a CPU at each lab shop, and fetches the data from the photographic apparatus during the idle time.
