1. A wireless tag reader and writer comprising:
- a read and write box shaped like a substantially rectangular cross-section cylinder and having an open end and a closed end, for holding sheet-like objects each having a wireless tag at the end, the objects being inserted through the open end;
a first read antenna disposed on the peripheral surface of the read and write box and in a write area set in a specified range from the closed end to the open end, for finding the position of wireless tags;
a second read antenna disposed on the peripheral surface of the read and write box adjacent to the open end relative to the write area, for finding the position of wireless tags;
a write antenna disposed at the closed end of the read and write box, for writing data to wireless tags; and
a step formed on the lower surface of the read and write box in such a manner that the bottom of the write area is lower than the bottom adjacent to the open end.

Abstract
A read and write box of a wireless tag reader and writer according to and embodiment of the invention has an open end and a closed end. Multiple envelopes each having a wireless tag at the end are inserted through the open end into the read and write box. The read and write box has a first read antenna and a second read antenna on the upper surface. The first read antenna detects wireless tags in a write area at the closed end; and
- the second read antenna detects wireless tags outside the write area. A write antenna is disposed at the closed end of the read and write box. The write antenna writes data to wireless tags. A step is formed on the lower surface of the read and write box in such a manner that the bottom of the write area is lower than the bottom adjacent to the open end so that the ends of the envelops align in the vicinity of the closed end.
