An information detection apparatus and information detection method for processing recording media to check the validity of checks and other negotiable instruments and print as necessary to said recording media are characterized by reliable operation and good operability. The information detection apparatus for processing recording media comprises in sequence along transportation path 9 from the insertion opening 6 a recording medium transportation mechanism 3, printing mechanism 4, and reading mechanism 5. When recording medium 8 is transported by transportation mechanism 3 along transportation path 9 to a predetermined position, the check is positioned between presser roller 51 and detection means 52 of reading mechanism 5. Presser roller 51 then presses recording medium 8 against detection means 52 while transportation mechanism 3 pulls the recording medium and particular information recorded to the recording medium is detected. This operation straightens wrinkles and removes slack from recording medium 8 to reduce reading errors. Based on the read information, a printing process is then executed by printing mechanism 4 and the recording medium is ejected from insertion opening 6. Task efficiency is therefore good, and the occupied space can be minimized.
