PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic stripe data processing device that is able to edit as data even a magnetic signal deviated from the range of specification.SOLUTION: In a track recorded in a place where the leading end and trailing end of the track are predetermined distance separated from both ends of a magnetic stripe along the running direction of a magnetic head, time taken for a start code included in the track to be read by the running magnetic head is defined as a regular time. For MS data stored in a memory, the process of detecting a start code from MS data read within the regular time is performed. If the start code cannot be detected from the MS data read within the regular time, the process of detecting the start code from the MS data is performed within a range from a first time at which the start code is detected for the track in a case where the leading end of the track is located at one end of the magnetic stripe to a second time at which the start code is detected for the track in a case where the trailing end of the track is located at the other end of the magnetic stripe. |
