1. A media processing device comprising:
- a data read/write unit configured to write information to an IC tag of media, and to read information from the IC tag, by radio signal; and
a control unit configured to control writing and reading the IC tag by the data read/write unit, whereinthe control unit is configured to determine if a specific area in the storage space of the IC tag is in a specific state and to control the data read/write unit to write information to the IC tag if the specific area is in the specific state.
