1. A media processing device comprising:
- a data read/write unit configured to read information stored in an IC tag and to write information to the IC tag based on a broadcast signal from the data read/write unit, the IC tag being disposed on a media; and
a controller configured to control the data read/write unit to detects the IC tag based on the IC tag responding to the broadcast signal;
wherein, when the controller determines that a plurality of IC tags that includes the detected IC tag are detected, the controller prevents the data read/write unit from writing information to the plural IC tags.

Abstract
When writing information to the IC tag of a medium, the control unit 54 of a printer 1 determines if a specific area in the storage space of the IC tag is in an initialized state, and writes to the IC tag if the IC tag is in the specific state.

10. A control method of a media processing device including a data read/write unit configured to read information stored in an IC tag and to write information to the IC tag based on a broadcast signal from the data read/write unit, the IC tag being disposed on a media, the method comprising:
-
detecting the IC tag based on the IC tag responding to the broadcast signal; and
,when a plurality of IC tags that includes the detected IC tag are detected, preventing the data read/write unit from writing information to the plural IC tags. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
