Abstract
A manual magnetic card reader allows a card with a magnetic strip to be inserted in a card insert slot to a card stop position and then allows the card to be removed. The reader comprises a magnetic head for reading magnetic data recorded in the magnetic strip, a data editing portion for editing the magnetic data and a saving buffer for saving the magnetic data of the card that is read during card insertion. The magnetic data is read and saved in the saving buffer during the card insertion and the magnetic data is also read during card removal.
