Abstract: A card reader includes a writing coil that is provided to a magnetic head for recording magnetic data in a magnetic card, and a drive circuit that supplies a write current to the writing coil. The drive circuit is a chopping circuit that supplies a chopping current, on/off of which is switched in a specified cycle, as the write current to the writing coil. An on/off cycle of the chopping current is a cycle in which a length of a magnetized pattern in a recording direction is shorter than a reading gap formed in a core around which the writing coil is wound or a core around which a reading coil being separately provided from the writing coil is wound, the magnetized pattern in the recording direction being formed in the magnetic card by the chopping current in a period including one each of the on and the off.

Abstract: A card reader performs a reading operation of reading magnetic data by scanning the magnetic data in a first direction and a writing operation of writing the magnetic data by scanning the magnetic data in a second direction. Prior to these reading operation and writing operation, a head moving mechanism performs a preparatory operation of moving a magnetic head positioned in a head retracted position to a head contact position and a preliminary operation of moving the magnetic head slightly (e.g., about 1 mm) in the same direction as a scanning direction when the reading operation and the writing operation are performed. By performing the preliminary operation, even if a backlash caused by wearing due to use, gaps present for reasons of design, or the like increases and an unloaded area increases, a phenomenon that the head moving mechanism 8 operates unloaded during the preliminary operation can be eliminated.

Abstract: A card reader may include a card insertion port; a magnetoresistive (MR) sensor, and a disturbing magnetic field generator, wherein the card may include a magnetic stripe, and magnetic data recorded in the magnetic stripe may be arranged in a moving direction of the card inserted through the card insertion port. The MR sensor may include a first resistor and a second resistor separated by a distance which is less than a bit interval of magnetic data, in a case that “0” data are recorded in the magnetic stripe, in the moving direction of the card.
