A rewritable card printer (110) having a retractable head. The head such as a magnetic read/write head (2101) is retracted whenever a rewritable card (114), not having feature recognizable by the head, is inserted into the rewritable card printer. The head is retractable to minimize wear on the head when the head is not in use. In a rewritable printer having multiple other heads, the other heads may by used to read from the rewritable card while the retractable head is retracted. If the other heads are incapable of reading the rewritable card, the retractable head is extend to read from the rewritable card.

L'invention concerne une imprimante de cartes réinscriptibles dotée d'une tête rétractable. Cette tête, une tête de lecture-écriture magnétique par exemple, se rétracte lorsqu'une carte réinscriptible, dont elle ne reconnaît aucune caractéristique, est insérée dans l'imprimante. La tête se rétracte de sorte à réduire au minimum son usure lorsqu'elle n'est pas en fonctionnement. Dans une imprimante dotée de têtes multiples, les autres têtes peuvent être utilisées pour lire la carte réinscriptible pendant que la tête rétractable est en position rétractée. Si les autres têtes ne parviennent pas à lire la carte réinscriptible, la tête rétractable s'étend alors pour lire ladite carte.
