A print having information associated with print stored in a memory coupled to the print

摘要

A print (30) having information associated with the print stored in a memory (24) coupled to the print. The print, processed by an image processing apparatus, having an attached memory for storing detailed information about the print and allowing contactless access using an electromagnetic frequency signal. A transceiver (50), connected to a control logic device (32), communicates with a transponder (22) that is attached to the print substrate and is integrally coupled to the memory. The transponder is capable of receiving a first electromagnetic field (frequency) from the transceiver and deriving power and address information from the first frequency, then generates a second electromagnetic field (frequency) in response, where the second electromagnetic field is characteristic of the data stored in memory.
