Abstract
In a card processor having a function of intermittently transporting a magnetic card, card information is prevented more effectively from being illegally acquired by a skimmer mounted on a card slot. Transport rollers are mounted near the card slot. When a sensor turns ON as a card is inserted into the card slot, the transport rollers are intermittently driven to intermittently transport the card and fetch it in the card processor. Since the card is intermittently transported approximately at the same time when the card is inserted, even if a skimmer SK is mounted on the card slot, information skimmed with a magnetic head H of the skimmer SK during card insertion is only little information in a range a, and most of information will not be skimmed.
