Inserting Cards

Cards are inserted one at a time into the slot on the front of the P100i . The card is printed on the top surface and ejected out through the same slot.

Important • Handle the cards only by the edges.

The following figure shows the encoding orientation for contact smart-cards and cards with a magnetic stripe.

For magnetic-stripe cards, if printing is desired on the side with the magnetic stripe, the card would be inserted stripe up, with the stripe toward the right side of the printer as viewed from the front.

For contactless smart-cards, orientation is not a consideration.
