1. An image forming device comprising:
a communication device configured to communicate with a wireless tag;
an image former configured to form a developer image on a surface of a photoreceptor, the image former comprising:
a transferor configured to transfer the developer image to a medium provided with the wireless tag communicating with the communication device;
a transmitter configured to transmit the medium to the transferor;
an exposure device configured to form an electrostatic latent image by exposing the surface of the photoreceptor; and
a controller communicably coupled to the image former, the controller comprising:
a processor configured to control an operation of the exposure device to stop the exposure when the communication with the wireless tag by the communication device is not ended;
wherein the transmitter transmits the medium at a first timing when communication with the wireless tag by the communication device is executed and transmits the medium at a second timing when the communication with the wireless tag by the communication device is not ended.
