Method of inputting print-destined data in rewritable card read/write apparatus

摘要

A method of inputting print-destined data in rewritable card read/write apparatuses of a card utilization system very conveniently. A message edited by a computer (20) for rewritable card users is stored in a memory (23) provided in association with a magnetic head energizing means (21; 5) of a rewritable card read/write apparatus by way of an external-input interface (6). A magnetic card having at least one magnetic track for storing the message is inserted in the above-mentioned rewritable card read/write apparatus to thereby create a message card carrying the message from the magnetic card. The message card is inserted into another rewritable card read/write apparatus of the rewritable card utilization system for allowing a magnetic head provided in another rewritable card read/write apparatus to read the message for storing it in a memory of another apparatus so that the message can be printed on each of rewritable cards which will be inserted subsequently into another rewritable card read/write apparatus.
