Abstract

The present invention provides a proximity type contactless IC card issuance machine comprising an IC card processing mechanism that reads or writes information from or into an IC chip buried in an IC card through a signal transmission element and a print processing mechanism that carries out printing on a surface of the IC card, wherein at least a card collision preventive member having edge portion for smoothly guiding transfer of the IC card is provided near to the signal transmission element. The card collision preventive member can be made to serve as a fixing spacer for the signal transmission element. An edge portion for smoothly guiding transfer of the IC card may be provided to the signal transmission element, in stead of the card collision preventive member provided near to the signal transmission element.
