AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
In an image forming device, when using a printing medium with an RFID tag, the label may become defective due to impact during the pickup process.
Method used
By setting a writing process in the control unit, the tag information is written to the RFID tag and verified after the writing is completed. If the write success rate is below a predetermined threshold, the control unit slows down the speed of picking up the reel to reduce impact on the label.
Benefits of technology
It effectively prevents defects caused by impact during the pickup process of RFID tags, and improves the processing reliability of the image forming equipment on the printing medium.

Abstract
To provide an image forming apparatus that can suppress occurrence of a malfunction in a wireless tag.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus has a storage unit, a conveying unit, an image forming unit, and a control unit. The storage unit stores a print medium provided with a wireless tag. The conveying unit has a pickup roller that picks up the print medium one by one, and conveys the print medium picked up by the pickup roller. The image forming unit forms an image on the print medium. The control unit controls the conveying unit and an antenna that emits radio waves to a predetermined radiation area in an area on a conveyance path through which the print medium is conveyed, to perform writing processing of writing tag information in the wireless tag in the radiation area. The writing processing is processing of writing the tag information in the wireless tag. The control unit calculates the possibility of success in the writing at predetermined timing, and when the calculated possibility of success is less than a predetermined threshold, reduces the speed of the pickup roller picking up the print medium.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
