Device and method for issuing rfid holding medium and computer-readable recording medium

An RFID holding medium issuing method, comprising:

• conveying an RFID holding medium having an RFID chip in a position shifted from the center to the upstream and downstream direction of conveyance along a guide path for guiding the RFID holding medium;
• trying first communication by the RFID reader-writer in a position where the RFID chip of the RFID holding medium whose front end is set in the desired direction is located in the communication position;
• and
• placing the RFID holding medium, if communication in the first processing fails, in a position where the RFID chip of the RFID holding medium whose front end is oppositely set to the desired direction is located in the communication position and trying second communication by the RFID reader-writer.

A computer-readable medium having computer programs stored thereon that, when executed by a computer having a display unit configured to display information and an input unit configured to input a number and an operator, causes the computer to:

• control a conveyance unit for conveying an RFID holding medium so that the RFID holding medium having an RFID chip in a position shifted from the center to the upstream and downstream direction of conveyance is conveyed along a guide path for guiding the RFID holding medium;
• try first communication by the RFID reader-writer in a position where the RFID chip of the RFID holding medium whose front end is set in the desired direction is located in the communication position;
• and
• place the RFID holding medium, when communication in the first processing fails, in a position where the RFID chip of the RFID holding medium whose front end is oppositely set to the desired direction is located in the communication position and try second communication by the RFID reader-writer,
