<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To assure the conveyance of a sheet with an IC tag by preventing damage to the IC tag while conveying the sheet with the IC tag. <P>SOLUTION: By the provision of a conveyance path formed so as not to extend through an image forming section such as a fixing unit, each sheet with an IC tag can be conveyed without being affected by heat/pressure. This prevents each IC tag from being damaged. In addition, reading parts are provided for a feed section and an ejection section for sheets with IC tags. An ID number read when each sheet is fed is stored in a storage section. The ID number read by the sheet ejection section and information in the storage are verified to each other. Thereby the number of sheets or sheet order is confirmed and the conveyance is assured. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
