Abstract
An image forming device has an image forming unit adapted to execute image formation on a recording medium, a writing unit adapted to be able to execute at least information writing in a non-contact manner to a non-contact IC chip added to the recording medium, and a control unit (i) capable of executing both a first mode of executing control so as to change an operation of the image formation by the image forming unit based on whether or not the information writing to the non-contact IC chip by the writing unit was correctly executed, and a second mode of executing control so as to cause the image forming unit to execute the image formation to the recording medium to which the non-contact IC chip has been added, irrespective of whether or not the information writing to the non-contact IC chip by the writing unit was correctly executed, and (ii) adapted to selectively execute one of the first mode and the second mode.
