Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'impression haute fiabilité utilisant un papier comprenant une puce de circuit intégré incorporée. A l'étape (1000), une personne (une personne qui souhaite imprimer un document) qui souhaite effectuer une impression haute fidélité commande, par l'intermédiaire d'un terminal d'information, à une imprimante (74) d'exécuter l'impression sur un papier comprenant une puce de circuit intégré incorporée. A l'étape (1010), un lecteur de circuit intégré lit les informations d'identification de la puce de circuit intégré qui sont stockées dans la puce susmentionnée. A l'étape (1020), l'imprimante (74) exécute l'impression sur le papier et transmet le rapport d'impression à la personne qui a lancé l'impression. A l'étape (1030), le résultat de l'impression et la lecture des informations d'identification de la puce de circuit intégré (étape 1010) sont transmis à un serveur de gestion qui gère les informations d'impression. A l'étape (1040), le serveur de gestion reçoit le résultat de l'impression et les informations d'identification susmentionnées. A l'étape (1050), le résultat d'impression et les informations d'identification reçus sont stockés dans une table de données.
