To provide an image forming apparatus and a program that can prevent writing information on a non-target wireless tag by mistake.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus has a loading unit, a conveying unit, a wireless tag communication device, and a control unit. The loading unit can have a sheet provided with a wireless tag loaded thereon. The conveying unit conveys the sheet. The wireless tag communication device can read and write information with respect to the wireless tag. The control unit acquires a threshold for distinguishing between a sheet being conveyed by the conveying unit and a sheet loaded on the loading unit according to the receiving power intensity of a radio wave received from the wireless tag, and when the receiving power intensity is within a range defined by the threshold, controls the wireless tag communication device to write information in the wireless tag.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】対象外の無線タグに誤って情報を書くことを防止可能な画像形成装置、及びプログラムを提供することである。【解決手段】画像形成装置は、載置部と、搬送部と、無線タグ通信装置と、制御部とを持つ。載置部は、無線タグが設けられたシートを載置可能である。搬送部は、シートを搬送する。無線タグ通信装置は、無線タグに対して情報を読み書き可能である。制御部は、搬送部によって搬送中のシートと、載置部に載置されたシートとを、無線タグから受信された電波の受信電力強度によって区別するための閾値を取得し、受信電力強度が閾値により定まる範囲内にある場合に、無線タグに対して情報を書くように無線タグ通信装置を制御する。【選択図】図６
