Cards for Processing

The cards that can be processed are called readable and writable cards.
When the card is inserted into the inlet, it is a process targeted card.
When the process is completed, the card waits in the device, and is a process targeted card.
When idling in the device, the idling card is a process targeted card regardless of whether there
is a card at the inlet.
Cards discharged from the device are removal waiting cards and are no longer process target
cards.
To process these cards, they must be removed from the device once, and then reinserted, or
they can be processed by employing the removal wait cancel command.
