Abstract
A device identifies the finishing location on a recording medium and also identifies the electronic tag location on the recording medium when a finishing instruction is included in a job. Moreover, when the finishing location matches with the electronic tag location, the device displays that the locations overlap with each other.
Claims27
A recording medium processing device, comprising:
- a job receiving unit for receiving a job for processing a recording medium provided with an electronic tag capable of storing electronic data;
- and
- an electronic tag location identifying unit for identifying a location of the electronic tag on the recording medium.
An image forming device, comprising:
- a job receiving unit for receiving a job for processing a recording medium provided with the IC tag capable of storing electronic data;
- a judging unit for judging whether a finishing instruction for instructing a finishing process to be applied to the recording medium is included in the received job or not;
- a finishing location identifying unit for identifying a location where the finishing process is to be executed on the recording medium;
- an electronic tag location identifying unit for identifying a location of the electronic tag on the recording medium;
- a comparing unit for comparing the location where the finishing process is to be executed, which is identified by said finishing location identifying unit, and the location of the electronic tag identified by said electronic tag location identifying unit.
A recording medium processing method, comprising the steps of:
- 1) accepting a job for processing a recording medium provided with an electronic tag capable of storing electronic data;
- and
- 2) identifying a location of the electronic tag on the recording medium.
An recording medium processing method, further comprising the step of:
- 8) after the comparison in the step 5), receiving a selection of whether the finishing process is to be executed on the recording medium provided with the electronic tag or not.
An image forming method comprising the steps of:
- 1) accepting a printing job;
- 2) judging whether a finishing instruction for instructing a finishing process to be applied to a printed recording medium is included or not in the received printing job;
- 3) identifying a location where the finishing process is to be executed on the recording medium;
- 4) identifying a location of an electronic tag on the recording medium provided with the electronic tag capable of storing electronic data;
- 5) comparing the location where the finishing process is to be executed, which is identified in the step 3), and the location of the electronic tag identified in the step 4);
- and
- 6) notifying that the location where the finishing processes is to be executed matches with the location of the electronic tag based on a result of the comparison in the step 5).
