Claims18
A processing system used in a facility, the processing system comprising:
- a printing device;
- and
- a terminal configured to communicate with the printing device;
- wherein the printing device comprises:
- a print head configured to print,
- a memory configured to store identification information of the printing device, and
- a signal processing circuit configured to wirelessly transmit the identification information via a radio antenna to the terminal;
- and
- wherein the terminal comprises:
- a communication interface configured to:
