Image Forming Apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a printing unit which prints an image on a sheet having a non-contact type tag based upon print data, the non-contact type tag stores tag data and transmits/receives the tag data via a wireless communication;
• a writing unit which stores the tag data in the non-contact type tag;
• a data forming unit which forms the print data for 1 sheet based upon a print file which requires a plurality of sheets to be printed;
• and
• a control unit which controls the printing unit to print on the sheet based upon the print data for 1 sheet formed by the data forming unit, the control unit which controls the writing unit to store the print data for 1 sheet to be printed in the non-contact type tag of the sheet as the tag data.
