Abstract
When, in the case where card take-in means 3 takes in a magnetic card 10, a magnetic head 4 outputs a predetermined reproducing signal, the magnetic card is taken in; and when the predetermined reproducing signal is not outputted by the magnetic head, the magnetic card take-in operation is stopped. The magnetic head 4 is provided near a card inserting inlet 2, so that, when the card take-in operation is stopped, the rear end 10a of the card 10 is protruded from the card inserting inlet 2.
