Abstract
An identification card camera for producing photoprint identification cards having a subject portrait and subject related data in respective areas of the card and a record film of the card includes a cyclically operable imaging system by which an image of a data carrying card is exposed to a first area of the identification card film and a first frame of a record film and an image of the subject is exposed to a second area of the identification card film and to a second frame of the record film. A micro-processor based logic system controls the imaging system to produce the identification card and the record film frames and monitors operation of the imaging system. Camera operation is terminated if an unexpected change in the operational status of the data carrying card, identification card film, record film, or other components of the imaging system is detected during execution of the camera cycle.
