PROCESSING DEVICE OF CARD OR THE LIKE

PURPOSE:To reduce an abrasion of a head, and to realize its long life by separating at least a part of an inserting path and a carrying path, and placing a heat sensible printing head for executing a heat sensible printing to a card, etc., on the separated carrying path. CONSTITUTION:A card is inserted from a card inserting base 4, the card is carried along a carrying path A by rotating forward a motor, and magnetic information of the card is read from a magnetic information reading part 11. In case that its card is not effective, the card is carried to the inserting base 4 by rotating reversely the motor 13, and a return processing is executed. In case that the card is effective, when a photoelectric switch SW2 becomes on, the card advances to a carrying path B, and when the motor 13 stops, a motor 28 rotates forward, and when a switch SW3 becomes on, the motor 28 stops. At this time, the transaction comes to end, and when a return command of the card is given to a CPU and the motor 28 rotates reversely, the card passes through a carrying path C, is led to a sensible heat dot printing head 1, brought to sensible heat printing, and thereafter, sent to the inserting base 4.
