Abstract

See full text

A card-type medium counting mechanism that calculates the number of card-type medium held so as to stack in a thickness direction, which is capable of improving the accuracy with which the number of card-type medium is counted, is provided. A card-type medium counting mechanism that calculates the number of card-type medium includes optical sensors that calculate the number of the card-type medium held so as to stack in a thickness direction of the card-type medium, a carriage to which the sensors are mounted, a circuit board that is fixed to the carriage, and a carriage driving mechanism that moves the carriage such that the sensors move along an end surface of the card-type medium. In this card-type medium counting mechanism, a processing circuit that processes an output signal from the sensors and outputs a digital signal is mounted to the circuit board.
