Abstract
The present invention provides a card recording apparatus capable of printing in high speed as well as reducing overall dimensions of the apparatus. After a card is transported to an information recording section 200 in a lateral (short length) direction of the card, an information signal is recorded on the card thereby. Then, the card is transported to a second heating section 300. An ink image formed on an intermediate recording medium 7 by a first heating section 500 is re-transferred to the card by the second heating section 300. A warp developed on the card by the second heating section 300 is corrected by a card warp correcting section 400.
Claims5
A card recording apparatus for recording image information on a surface of a card having magnetic stripes formed in a longitudinal direction thereof and for recording/reproducing magnetic information on/from the magnetic stripes, wherein the card is inserted into the card recording apparatus upon operation, the card recording apparatus comprising:
- transport means for transporting the card in a lateral direction of the card and temporarily stopping a transportation of the card when the magnetic information is recorded/reproduced on/from the magnetic stripes;
- recording/reproducing means capable of being transported in a longitudinal direction of the card for recording/reproducing magnetic information on/from the magnetic stripes of the card when the card is stopped, and
- image information recording means for recording image information on the card along the lateral direction of the card.
A card recording apparatus for recording image information on a surface of a card provided with an IC having an outer terminal and for recording/reproducing information in/from the IC of the card, wherein the card is inserted into the card recording apparatus upon operation, the card recording apparatus comprising:
- transport means for transporting the card in a lateral direction of the card and temporarily stopping a transportation of the card when the information is recorded/reproduced in/from the IC of the card through the outer terminal;
- recording/reproducing means capable of being transported in a longitudinal direction of the card for recording/reproducing the information in/from the IC of the card through the outer terminal when the card is stopped, and
- image information recording means for recording image information on the card along the lateral direction of the card.
