Abstract
The present invention provides an optical information storage apparatus incorporates in a housing: a medium storing section in which optical storage media are stored; an information access section that makes an information access to the optical storage medium; and a medium moving section that moves the optical storage medium between the medium storing section and the information access section, to increase storage capacity and to reduce the size of the apparatus. The medium moving section executes a supply process of moving the optical storage medium along a supply path from the medium storing section to the information access section and a recovery process of moving the optical storage medium along a recovery path from the information access section to the medium storing section, the optical storage medium on the supply path and another optical storage medium being on the recovery path able to pass each other.
