Glossary of Terms (continued)

Term	Definition
Oversized Cards	Oversized cards are used for more efficient visual identification
	and are available in many non-standard sizes. The most popular
	sizes are CR-90 (3.63" x 2.37"/92mm x 60mm) and CR-100 (3.88"
	x 2.63"/98.5mm x 67mm).
Overlaminate	Protective clear or holographic material to increase security and
	durability applied over the printed surface with a hot roller.
(Thin Film)	A 0.25-mil thick resin material that enhances card security and
Overlaminate	durability applied over the printed surface with a hot roller.
	Available as clear or with embedded holographic-type security
	images.
Parallel	A method of data transfer in which serial data is divided into
	sections and sent simultaneously down parallel wires to speed
	transfer rate.
Parallel port	A communication socket on a device that allows for parallel data
	transfer.
PC (Personal	A stand-alone, programmable, electronic device that can store,

PCB (Printed Circuit	A solid, multi-layered plate on which electronic elements are
Board)	attached, either through the board or on the surface.
Peel	The removal of a film or ribbon from a card surface (at a
	perpendicular angle) to ensure proper transfer, then separation,
	from the card surface.
Peel-Off	A bar on the lamination section that holds the film at the correct
	position and provides proper peel angle.
Peripheral	Any device that is attached externally to a PC. These often share
	the same data cable or port as a Printer and may be the source of
	communication problems.
Pinch roller	A free spinning (non-driven) roller that presses the card against
	the drive roller, on the opposite side, to ensure an adequate
	normal force for proper traction.
