A method for retiring a RFID copy sheet using an imaging device having a scanner system and a printer system, each system having a RFID reader programmer. The RFID copy sheet to be retired is scanned using one of the RFID reader programmers. After determining that the user is authorized to retire the RFID copy sheet, the RFID copy sheet is rescanned by a RFID reader programmer and its associated RFID tag is reprogrammed to indicate that the RFID copy sheet is retired. Document control of the retired RFID copy sheet may also be provided using a document lifecycle database that is updated with the retired status of the RFID copy sheet.
