PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the overlapping of two sheets of cards and also to return only one of both cards that is located closer to a card insertion port by preparing a projection which moves the card into a card carrying means, a means which variably controls the projection in a fixed direction, a means which detects the position of the projection and a means which detects the position of the card. SOLUTION: A customer first puts a 1st card 3-0 such as a cash card, etc., into a card insertion port of a card reader and then puts a 2nd card 3-1 into the card insertion. The magnetic recording parts of both cards 3-0 and 3-1 are read by a magnetic head and these read signals are processed at a signal processing part. Then a carrying path 4 drives every card in its ejecting direction from the card insertion port. If the card 3-1, for example, is caught and stopped in the middle of the path 4, a detection signal is transmitted only from a specific card sensor and a host processing part recognizes occurrence of a fault. Thus, the card 3-1 is ejected by a pulse motor 8 and by means of the force of a pawl part 1. |
