Media processing device, media processing system, and control method of a media processing device

摘要

Overwriting information that was correctly written to an IC tag that can communicate wirelessly but is not the IC tag on the medium intended to be processed is prevented so that the wrong information is not stored in the IC tag. When writing write data including uniquely assigned tag ID information to an IC tag ends correctly, the system controller 35 of the media processing device 2 stores information indicating that writing the IC tag was completed. When writing write data to an IC tag, the system controller 35 reads the tag ID information and determines if information matching the read tag ID information is included in the stored tag ID information. If matching information is found, the system controller 35 prohibits writing to the IC tag.

主权项

1. A media processing device comprising:
a conveyor configured to convey a continuous medium having a plurality of label blocks, each of the plurality of label blocks having an IC tags; a data reader/writer that writes and reads information including identification information in each of the plurality of IC tags embedded in the continuous medium by wireless communication, the data reader/writer communicating with each of the plurality of IC tags by near-field communication; a recording mechanism including a recording head configured to record on the plurality of label blocks; a memory that stores at least the identification information written to the plurality of IC tags by the data reader/writer and that stores first recording information; and a control circuit that controls the data reader/writer and the memory, the control circuit being configured to
store at least the identification information in the memory after writing the information to a first one of the plurality of IC tags by the data reader/writer ends,determine, before writing the information to the first one of the plurality of IC tags by the data reader/writer, whether the identification information read by the data reader/writer from the first one of the plurality of IC tags matches stored identification information stored in the memory, andif the identification information read from the first one of the plurality of IC tags matches the stored identification information stored in the memory, reverse the continuous medium with the conveyor, and record, by the recording head, the first recording information on one of the plurality of label blocks that has a second one of the plurality of IC tags having the stored identification information.
