ABSTRACT:
A card reader comprises a mouth region for receiving a card having stored data to be read and a data reader region for reading the stored data. The reader is arranged to deliver a card received at the mouth region to the data reader region via a delivery path. The delivery path is arranged to maintain the card in a predetermined plane during transportation. A signal source is arranged to produce an output signal which is projected across the delivery path in the plane which a card passes when in use. A detector is also arranged to receive the output signal and to detect the presence of an object in the delivery path in response to the object interfering with the output signal.
