Tape cartridge management system and tape cartridge

A tape cartridge management system, comprising:

• a plurality of tape cartridges, each RFID tag for storing management information being arranged on any one of outside and inside of a case of each tape cartridge;
• a reader-writer for reading and writing the management information stored in the RFID tag, the reader-writer being configured to be able to read and write the management information with an identical positional relation against the plurality of the tape cartridges;
• and
• an identification member, disposed on the outside of each case, for preventing the RFID tag from being mis-mounted on the outside of each case,
• wherein each tape cartridge configured to arrange the RFID tag at the outside of the each case is provided with the RFID tag on an external surface of a side wall of each case, on which a label pasting member is disposed,
• wherein each tape cartridge configured to arrange the RFID tag at the inside of each case is provided with the RFID tag on an internal surface of the side wall of each case, on which the label pasting member is disposed,
• wherein the identification member is formed with the label pasting member having a different shape of contour from a label pasting member of a tape cartridge where the RFID tag is not arranged adjacent to the side wall within the tape cartridge, and
• wherein the different shape is so formed that the RFID tag, which is to be mounted on the external surface of the side wall, must extend across a step formed between an inside area and an outside area of the contour.
