Printer Components: Resin Thermal Transfer to USB Interface Port

Component	Description
Resin Thermal	Resin Thermal Transfer is the print method the Printer uses to print
Transfer	sharp black text and crisp bar codes that can be read by both infrared
	and visible-light bar code scanners.
	Like dye-sublimation, this process uses the same thermal Printhead
	to transfer color to a film from a resin-only Print Ribbon or the resin
	black (K) Panel of a full color Print Ribbon.
	The difference, however, is that solid dots of resin-based ink are
	transferred and fused to the surface of the film and then the film is
	laminated onto the card surface. (Note: This produces very durable,
	saturated printing.)
Card Cartridge	Load blank cards into this Cartridge.
Card Output	Stores 200 cards.
Hopper
Card	Works in conjunction with the Printer to apply a variety of different
Lamination	overlaminates to printed cards, providing increased card durability
Module	and security.
	(Note: When printing a batch of cards, the Printer can be encoding
	and printing one card while the Lamination Module laminates another
	card.)
LCD Display	Displays the current status of the Printer.
Printhead	The component of the Printer that actually does the printing. This
	component is fragile and must not be bumped or touched with
	anything other than a cleaning pen.
Softkey Buttons	Current function is displayed above the button and will change
	depending upon the Printer's mode of operation.
Card Cleaning	Automatically cleans cards for higher print quality. (Note: Replace
Roller	this Roller after every 1000+ cards or as needed.)
