A card processor having a diagnosis process that can be started easily. A card processor comprising a card insert port ( ), card moving unit ( to ), detection unit ( ), a card reading unit ( ), power switch ( ), and control unit ( ). This control unit ( ) determines from the detection unit ( ) whether a card has been inserted when the power is turned ON by the power switch ( ), and when a card has been inserted, it starts diagnosis processing, and when a card has not been inserted, it proceeds to normal processing. Since it is possible to start diagnosis processing by turning ON the power and inserting a card, it is possible for diagnosis processing to be started by anyone, and not just specially trained operators and personnel.

Card processing device and card processing method

Processing apparatus with integrated circuit and integrated circuit package

A bill-discriminating apparatus which is used, for example, in an automatic deposit machine and which discriminates a bill by comparing patterns read from the bill with standard patterns. The apparatus includes a circuit for reading patterns from a conveyed bill, one or more sensors for determining the conveyance condition of the bill, a circuit for generating standard patterns corresponding to the conveyance condition of the bill and/or to the kind of bill, and a circuit for comparing the patterns, read from the bill by the circuit for reading patterns, with the standard patterns, thereby discriminating the truth of falsity of the bill and/or the kind of bill.

Bill-discriminating apparatus

A card handling device, which includes a card inserting aperture for inserting a card therethrough, a card reader for reading information data from an inserted card and means for carrying the card from the inserting aperture to the reader, in which there is provided a detector for detecting a deformed or curved card disposed at a position between the card inserting aperture and the card reader, whereby the deformed card is fed back through the card inserting aperture while a non-deformed card is fed to said card reader by the card carrying means.
