To explain the operation, when this information input device switches the mode changeover switch 17 to the ``IfEAD'' mode and inserts the information input/output card l into the card holder 2, a signal is generated from the card detection means 19 and the transverse feed motor control section 13a is activated. The transverse feed motor 9 rotates forward in response to a signal from the head block control cam 7 via the reduction gear train 8. Head block control cam 7Vi head block 61
It is moved back and forth from side to side. The reading head 6b provided on the head block 6 faces the information entry surface of the information input/output card 1, and reads the data in the information entry area of the information person output card l as the head block 6 slides. The data read by the reading head 6b and converted into electrical signals is processed by the sensor circuit 20 and then sequentially stored in the memory 25 by the reading control section 13c.

After one line of data group on the information input/output card l is read, the lateral feed motor 9 further moves the head initial position detection means 23
By reading the forward rotation, the head block 6Vi is transferred in the reverse direction until it issues a signal.

It will be returned to its original position. At this time, the vertical feed motor control section 13b rotates the vertical feed motor 5 in the forward direction for a certain period of time based on the holder position detection means 22, and rotates the card holder control cam 3yk via the reduction gear train 4. By this rotation of the card holder control cam 3, the card holder 2 is moved downward by a certain amount, and the information input/output card 1 is transferred downward by a certain amount. the result.

The data group in the second row of the data group read from the information input/output card is located on the movement locus of the reading head 6b of the head block 6.

At tenth point, the traverse feed motor control section 13a causes the traverse feed shimotor 9 to rotate normally again, and repeats the above operation.

When the reading of the data group on the top row of the information input/output card 1 is completed, the vertical feed motor control unit 13b controls the vertical feed υ
