In the disclosed system, each of the electronic tags contains an ID a part of which represents one of group IDs identifying groups among the electronic tags and is configured to send a response when a request sent from the communication apparatus contains a corresponding one of the group IDs; and the communication apparatus is configured to send requests one by one each of which requests contains one of the group IDs, thereby to request the electronic tags group by group to send responses to the communication apparatus, and to recreate the management information based on the responses.

Abstract: An electronic inventory tag system including an electronic inventory tag, a management apparatus using a management database for managing the electronic inventory tag, and a relay apparatus for relaying communications between the electronic inventory tag and the management apparatus is disclosed. The relay apparatus transmits a non-registration call. The electronic inventory tag determines whether the electronic inventory tag is registered when receiving the non-registration call. The electronic inventory tag transmits a non-registration response to the relay apparatus when determining that the electronic inventory tag is unregistered. The relay apparatus transmits non-registration detection data to the management apparatus when receiving the non-registration response. The management apparatus registers electronic inventory tag data corresponding to the electronic inventory tag in the management database based on the non-registration detection data.

Abstract: First and second feeding roller pairs are disposed at positions upstream and downstream of a recording position to record an image onto a recording sheet. Each of the first and second feeding roller pairs includes a capstan roller and a pinch roller, which are located below and above a passage of the recording sheet. The capstan roller and the pinch roller has plural orbital grooves arranged along an axial direction, to relax the strain of the recording sheet with respect to the widthwise direction of the recording sheet. The depth of the orbital grooves of the pinch rollers are set to 0.3 mm, which is shallower than that of the orbital grooves of the capstan rollers. The shallow orbital grooves of the pinch rollers are capable of suppress the curl of the recording sheet effectively.
