First Claim
Patent Images
1. A printer for printing on a data carrier having at least one transponder chip therein, including:
- a device for printing the data onto said data carrier;
a device for driving the transponder chip;
an interface; and
a card, wherein;
said device for driving the transponder chip comprises an antenna and a control unit to control said antenna;
said control unit is connected to said interface via said card;
said transponder chip is configured to read a serial number and to transmit the serial number data read to a computer;
said control circuit establishes the printing speed as a function of the time required for programming said transponder chip and as a function of feed of said data carrier over which driving of a printed transponder chip by said antenna is possible; and
said device for printing the data onto said data carrier includes a printing head, said carrier is a label strip which defines a trailing edge, and the printing speed is selected to enable said trailing edge to remain beneath said printing head after the data is written and read.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to a printer having a device for printing a data carrier. It is proposed providing the data carrier with at least one transponder chip and equipping the printer with a device for driving the transponder chip. This makes it possible to print the data carrier simultaneously or sequentially and to write data into, or read data out of, the transponder chip.
