Abstract
A print having attached audio data storage and method of providing same. A print, generated by an image processing apparatus, has an attached memory with recorded audio data related to the print, which memory allows contactless access to the data using an electromagnetic frequency signal. A transceiver communicates with a transponder that is attached to the print substrate and is integrally coupled to the memory. The transponder is capable of receiving a first electromagnetic frequency from the transceiver and deriving power and address information from the first frequency, then generating a second electromagnetic frequency in response, where the second electromagnetic frequency is characteristic of the recorded audio data stored in memory.
