Based on information recorded on and read out from a card, a card printer erasably writes information on the card or erases information recorded on the card. The card printer comprises transport means T for transporting cardalong a passagewayhaving an inlet, reading means R provided in the vicinity of passagewayfor reading out information recorded on a surface of cardtransported along passageway, printing means P for recording information on and erasing information from the surface of card, and control means IC electrically connected to transport means T, reading means R and printing means P for determining whether to record information on or to erase information from surface of cardand for controlling operation of transport means T and printing means P depending on information forwarded from reading means R.

Card printer and card printing/stacking device

A storage control device of bank structure is provided which comprises a CPUand a storageconnected to CPU. Storagedetects and temporarily holds one of the bank addresses 0DF00h-7DF07h of the bank memoriesto be read out next by CPUwhen one of the bank memoriesis read out by CPUso that storagesupplies the held bank address 0DF00h-7DF07h to a memory control devicewhich thereby is switched to a next bank memory when CPUproduces a next retrieval signal. Accordingly, CPUof small capacity reads information from storage of larger capacity to operate a controlled system connected to CPUof the storage control device.
