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.

 

 

 

 

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,

 

Computer)

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 can be the source of
