Abstract
Overwriting information that was correctly written to an IC tag that can communicate wirelessly but is not the IC tag on the medium intended to be processed is prevented so that the wrong information is not stored in the IC tag. When writing write data including uniquely assigned tag ID information to an IC tag ends correctly, the system controllerof the media processing devicestores information indicating that writing the IC tag was completed. When writing write data to an IC tag, the system controllerreads the tag ID information and determines if information matching the read tag ID information is included in the stored tag ID information. If matching information is found, the system controllerprohibits writing to the IC tag.
