Abstract
MFP 100A reads attribute information from an IC tag of a document related to IC tagged printed matter set on ADF 141 by means of IC tag reader 143A, displays modifiable attribute information on control unit 130, and receives an input of modification instruction. Next, it reads image data from an IC tag of the document by IC tag reader 143A and receives an instruction input on which of the attribute information and image data, either before or after the modification, is to be written on the IC tag of the IC tag printing paper. It prints the modified image data on the IC-tagged printing paper based on the attribute information after the modification by means of printing unit 151 and writes on the IC tag of the printing paper the attribute information and the image data, either before or after the modification, according to said instruction. This makes it possible to retain the attribute information and the original image data even after the printing on the IC tagged printing paper by modifying the attribute information of the document.
