Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a storage and a controller. When it is determined that a temperature detected by a temperature detector is equal to or higher than a reference temperature, the controller stops a wireless communication between an RFID tag and a reader/writer. In addition, when a predetermined condition for determining that the detected temperature is lower than the reference temperature is satisfied, the controller starts the wireless communication between the RFID tag and the reader/writer, and causes the reader/writer to update information stored in the RFID tag to update information that was stored in the storage between a time point when it was determined that the temperature detected by the temperature detector is equal to or higher than the reference temperature and a time point when the predetermined condition was satisfied.
