IC card reader / writer.

摘要

A first sensor (6) is arranged at a predetermined position on a conveying path of an IC card (A). When the IC card is detected by the first sensor, the conveyance of the IC card is stopped. A connector (7) supported to a supporting member (8) provided at a predetermined position approaches the contacts of the IC card and is come into contact therewith. There is also provided a second sensor (11) to detect that the connector is located at a position adapted to be come into contact with the contacts of the IC card on the basis of the motion of the supporting member. The supporting member has a projecting portion (8a) adapted to abut on the IC card which has overrun from the predetermined position. When the projecting portion abuts on the IC card, no detection signal is output from the second sensor.
