Abstract
A card convey device includes a card convey unit, a punching unit, a counting unit, and a control unit. The card convey unit selectively conveys a card in a discharging direction and an opposite direction thereto. The punching unit punches the card which slows down, while the card is conveyed by the card convey unit in the discharging direction. The counting unit is enabled after a punching operation is performed by the punching unit, and counts the number of times of repetition of a reciprocal card convey operation in the opposite direction and the discharging direction. The control unit controls a convey operation of the card convey unit and repeatedly reciprocally conveys the card in the opposite direction and the discharging direction until the count value of the enabled counting unit reaches a predetermined count value. When the count value of the counting unit reaches the predetermined count value, the control unit conveys the card in the discharging direction and discharges the card.
