Cards

Card success depends on the manufacturer and card construction. This section describes specifications and quality guidelines for card stock to use with the RP90 Plus E printer and the RL90 laminator. For best results, use high-quality card stock that meets the specifications and recommendations described in this section.

Use cards that conform to the following specifications:

•ISO/IEC 7810 Type ID1

•ISO/IEC 7811-2 Magnetic stripe (optional)

•ISO/IEC 7816 Smart card (optional)

Contact your service provider before using a preprinted magnetic stripe card or smart card. Dark color preprinted cards can cause positioning errors during encoding.
