Smart Card Encoder

Introduction

This section contains information on the additional operations of a P100i Printer equipped with optional contact and/or contactless smart card encoders.

Smart cards can have a built-in microprocessor and/or memory.

Contact smart card encoders physically make electrical connection via a contact pad on the card. Contactless smart card encoders utilize a short-range radio signal.

Use of either type of smart card encoder is entirely under control of the third-party application program -- no operator action is required.
