Abstract
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.
