Abstract:
1. A medium processing apparatus for use with a card-shaped recording medium having a magnetic stripe, the medium processing apparatus comprising: a medium conveying passage along which the card-shaped recording medium having a magnetic stripe is conveyed; a magnetic head part comprising; a first moving mechanism which moves the first magnetic head and/or the first pad roller between a first contact position for contacting the first magnetic head and the first pad roller with the recording medium and a first retreated position where the first magnetic head and/or the first pad roller are retreated in a direction separated from the medium conveying passage; and a second moving mechanism which moves the second magnetic head and/or the second pad roller between a second contact position for contacting the second magnetic head and the second pad roller with the recording medium and a second retreated position where the second magnetic head and/or the second pad roller are retreated in a direction separated from the medium conveying passage; wherein the first magnetic head and the second magnetic head are displaced from each other in a conveyance direction of the recording medium in the magnetic head part; and wherein a distance between the first magnetic head and the second magnetic head in the conveyance direction of the recording medium is shorter than a length of a recorded range of magnetic data recorded in the magnetic stripe.
