Using smart cards (select models only)

NOTE: The term smart card is used throughout this chapter to refer to both smart cards and Java™ Cards.

A smart card is a credit card-sized accessory that carries a microchip containing memory and a microprocessor. Like personal computers, smart cards have an operating system to manage input and output, and they include security features to protect against tampering. Industry-standard smart cards are used with the smart card reader (select models only).

A PIN is needed to gain access to the contents of the microchip. For more information about smart card security features, refer to Help and Support.
