Provided according to the present invention are a non-contact information processing device and a non-contact card medium issuing machine that can easily and quickly judge whether an electromagnetic radiation function of a non-contact communication antenna is working properly or not. Concretely to describe, provided is a card reader 1 that includes non-contact information processing means for recording and/or reproducing information through electromagnetic induction without contacting a card medium; and a transfer path for transferring the card medium. The non-contact information processing means has a device-side non-contact communication antenna 23 that is able to send and receive information to/from a medium-side non-contact communication antenna provided on the card medium. Provided is detection means for detecting if the device-side non-contact communication antenna 23 is working normally. The detection means has a control section, being independent of a control circuit (a control board 40) for controlling the device-side non-contact communication antenna 23, and detects an electromagnetic wave generated from the device-side non-contact communication antenna 23. |
