ABSTRACT:
An optical card processing apparatus includes a holder feed mechanism (4) for reciprocating a card holder (2) holding an optical card (8), an optical head (5) for recording information on and/or reproducing information from the optical card held by the card holder, and a card holding mechanism provided on the card holder for pressingly holding at least three sides of the optical card. Deformation of the optical card can be corrected and vibration thereof suppressed by the card holding mechanism. As a result, focal-point error due to card curvature and vibration is reduced and optical cards can be fed at a higher speed.
