A printing device ( 10 ) such as a laser printer includes a radio frequency controller ( 38 ) which permits the detection and redirection of media having one or more defective radio frequency device tags, such as an RFID tag, to a specific one of two or more output options ( 50, 52 ). The radio frequency controller ( 38 ) may include radio frequency control logic ( 500 ) that communicates with the base printer ( 10 ) and the output options ( 50, 52 ) over a down port ( 506 ) and up port ( 508 ) to intercept commands from the printer ( 10 ) to the options ( 50, 52 ) and to also respond to such commands. A defective tag can be detected by attempting to program a tag using an RF reader/programmer ( 504 ).
