Abstract
Recording units including a printer for printing information data on at least one surface of a recording medium card are arranged vertically one over another in an information card producing device. Card turning portions are disposed confronting the respective recording units, so that the card can be transferred between the card turning portions and the recording units and turned over, thereby recording the desired information data on one or both of the surface of the card. The recording unit includes a magnetic encoder and/or IC memory reader/writer and has a function of verifying the information data written to the card so as to send out the card to a card discharge port when adequately recorded or to a card reject port when a write error is found.
Claims45
An information card producing device comprising:
- a recording portion having recording units, at least one of said recording units including means for printing information data on at least one surface of a recording medium card, said recording units being arranged one over another;
- each of said recording units having a card feeding path, at least one of said card feeding paths being reversible;
- and
- a card transfer portion for transferring said recording medium card relative to said recording units through said card feeding paths and for turning over said recording medium card .
An information card producing device comprising:
- a casing having a card supply side wall with a card supply port, an opposite card discharge side wall with a card discharge port, a first feeding path extending through said card supply port, and a second feeding path formed beneath said first feeding path in substantially parallel with said first feeding path;
- a card supply portion mounted onto said card supply port;
- a recording portion including a first recording unit disposed on said first feeding path for recording unit disposed on said first feeding path for recording information data on at least one surface of a card, and a second recording unit disposed on said second feeding path for recording information data on at least one surface of said card;
- and
- a card transfer portion including a first card turning portion confronting said first recording unit on said first feeding path for transferring and turning over said card, and a second card turning portion confronting said second recording unit on said second feeding path for transferring and turning over said card;
- wherein said card is sent from one of the first feeding path and the second feeding path to the other of the first feeding path and the second feeding path by operating the card transfer portion.
An information card producing device, comprising:
- at least two recording units, at least one of said recording units including means for printing information data on at least one surface of a recording medium card, said recording units being arranged one over another;
- a card feeding path provided at each of said recording units, at least one of said card feeding paths being reversible;
- and
- a card transfer portion having a card feed plane provided between said card feeding paths, wherein said recording medium card is transferred between said recording units through said card feeding paths.
An information card producing device, comprising:
- a recording portion having recording units, at least one of said recording units including means for printing information data on at least one surface of a recording medium card, said recording units being arranged one over another;
- a card feeding path provided at each of said recording units, at least one of said card feeding paths being reversible;
- and
- a card transfer portion having a card feed roller to transfer said recording medium card relative to said recording units through said card feeding paths.
An information card producing device, comprising:
- a recording portion having recording units, at least one of said recording units including means for printing information data on at least one surface of a recording medium card, said recording units being arranged one over another;
- a card feeding path provided at each of said recording units, at least one of said card feeding paths being reversible;
- and
- a card transfer portion having a card conveyor to transfer said recording medium card relative to said recording units through said card feeding paths.
An information card producing device, comprising:
- at least two recording units, at least one of said recording units including means for printing information data on at least one surface of a recording medium card, said recording units being arranged one over another;
- a card feeding path provided at each of said recording units, at least one of said card feeding paths being reversible;
- and
- a card conveyor provided between said card feeding paths, wherein said recording medium card is transferred between said recording units through said card feeding paths.
The information card producing device according to 37, wherein said IC memory reader/writer verifies properly inputted data.
An information card producing device, comprising:
- a first card feeding substantially linear path having a card supply port at one end thereof and a card discharge port at the other end thereof;
- a first recording unit positioned on said first card feeding path;
- a second recording unit positioned adjacent to said first recording unit, wherein said first and second recording units are arranged one over another;
- a second card feeding path branched off from said first card feeding path, wherein said second card feeding path is provided with said second recording unit;
- and
- a transferring roller positioned on said second card feeding path and operable in forward and reverse directions.
An information card producing device, comprising:
- a first card feeding substantially linear path having a card supply port at one end thereof and a card discharge port at the other end thereof;
- a first recording unit positioned on said first card feeding path;
- a second recording unit positioned at a level different from said first recording unit;
- a second card feeding path branched off from said first card feeding path, wherein said second card feeding path is provided with said second recording unit;
- and
- a transferring roller provided at said second card feeding path and operable in forward and reverse directions.
