Abstract
A sheet of printing paper has an RFID tag for receiving, storing, and transmitting data through radio wave signals. A printer detects the RFID data to be written in the RFID tag in the received data and records the RFID data in the RFID tag on a sheet of printing paper in addition to the general printing operation. A copy machine can copy the RFID data from the RFID tag on the sheet of document paper to the RFID tag on the sheet of printing paper in addition to the image copying. ID data or inhibit/permission data from the RFID tag is used to control the copy operation and transmission in a facsimile. ID data is recorded on the RFID tag on the sheet of the document paper or the printing paper on copying or transmission. The RFID data is transmitted by the facsimile in addition to image data transmission.
