Claim:
A magnetic transfer method comprising: conjoining the data bearing surface, on which a pattern corresponding to the transfer data has been formed, with the recording surface of a slave medium for receiving the transfer from a master medium to form a conjoined body, and applying a transfer magnetic field thereto to perform the magnetic transfer, wherein said master medium is adjustably disposed on the outer circumferential area of a slave support axis, wherein a central aperture of the slave medium is supported by the slave support axis; after a center position of the pattern formed on the data bearing face of said master medium has been matched with a center position of the slave support axis and fixed in the matched position, the slave medium is supplied to said slave support axis, whereby the position matching of the master medium and the slave medium is performed by visual confirmation; and the master medium is adjustable with respect to the center position of the support axis in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the slave support axis.
