Abstract
The present invention addresses the problem of providing an output device, which can reduce the impact on an object to which power is supplied even when an output unit continuously fails to supply a voltage. To solve the problem a brake mechanism includes a contact member and a variable unit. The contact member may be brought into contact with a read head that reads information recorded as an information stream stored in a medium that moves relative to the read head. The variable unit changes a contact state between the contact member and the read head when the information representing the displacement between the position on the medium read by the read head and the position in the recorded information stream exceeds a prescribed range.
