Patent ID: 8020774

Claim:
A tag label producing apparatus comprising: a feeding device that feeds a tag medium including an RFID circuit element having an IC circuit part configured to store information and a tag antenna configured to transmit and receive information; a communication device that transmits and receives information via a wireless communication to and from said RFID circuit element provided in said tag medium; and a communication facilitation processing portion that executes predetermined facilitation processing related to a communication during said wireless communication based on said communication device, wherein said tag medium comprises a tape-shaped or sheet-shaped second tag medium, said feeding device feeds either said second tag medium, wherein said RFID circuit element is disposed, or a print-receiving medium, which is to be bonded to the second tag medium, and said tag label producing apparatus further comprises a printing device that performs a printing in a predetermined print area of said second tag medium or of said print receiving medium during the feeding by said feeding device, and wherein, said communication facilitation processing portion is a predicting portion that predicts whether or not a transmission/reception of information will be permitted based on the corresponding operation status of said printing device, before said communication device performs said transmission/reception of information, and said communication device performs said transmission/reception of information with said RFID circuit element in a non-contact manner during the feeding by said feeding device, in accordance with the prediction result of said predicting portion, and said predicting portion includes a printing power calculating portion that calculates the power consumption required for printing said predetermined print area using said printing device, and a communication condition setting portion that sets conditions for said transmission/reception of information in accordance with a calculation result of said printing power calculating portion.
