Abstract
A card turning device turns over a record medium such as an ID card sent out from a thermal printer after printing on one side of the card, so that both sides of the card can be effectively printed by use of the printer having a function of performing one-side printing. By providing a card feed means including card feed rollers in the turning device with a rotation switch means such as a one-way clutch, the card feed rollers are stopped when a rotary body holding the card revolves, so that the card can be turned over without causing displacement of the card.
