Abstract

To provide an image formation apparatus that can reduce the effort of a user required to confirm tag information written in a wireless tag.SOLUTION: An image formation apparatus includes a sheet feeding unit, a conveyance unit, an image formation unit, and a control unit. A print medium attached with a wireless tag is placed on the sheet feeding unit. The conveyance unit conveys the print medium placed on the sheet feeding unit. The image formation unit forms an image on the print medium. The control unit controls an antenna that emits radio waves to a first region located downstream of the sheet feeding unit in a region on a conveyance path through which the print medium passes with the conveyance by the conveyance unit, and a second region in the region where the print medium is placed in the sheet feeding unit and also controls the conveyance unit and the image formation unit. When the print medium is placed on the sheet feeding unit and no conveyance is being performed by the conveyance unit, the control unit controls the antenna in response to a received operation and reads tag information written in the wireless tag from the wireless tag located in the second region.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
