Abstract
An image forming device includes a communication device that communicates with a wireless tag, and an image former that forms a developer image on a surface of a photoreceptor via a transfer belt. The image former includes a transferor that transfers the developer image from the transfer belt to a medium, and a transmitter configured to transmit the medium to the transferor. The image forming device includes a controller communicably coupled to the image former. The controller includes a processor that controls an operation of the transmitter. When communication with the wireless tag by the communication device is not ended, the controller controls the transmitter to stop the medium, and after the developer image has been transferred to the transfer belt by the image former and passes a transfer position of the transferor, transmit the medium preventing the developer image on the transfer belt from being transferred to the medium.
