Printer Components: Access Card Slot to Parallel 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 card 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 card. (Note: This produces
	very durable, saturated printing.)
Access Card	If using the Printer's optional SmartGuard Security Feature, this is the
Slot	slot in which a SmartGuard Access Card is inserted.
Card Input	Load blank cards into this hopper.
Hopper
Card Output	Stores printed cards.
Hopper
Card	Works in conjunction with the Printer to apply a variety of different
Lamination	overlaminates to printed cards, providing increased card durability and
Module	security. The Module has its own LED indicator light and control
	buttons; so it can be operated separately from the Printer. (Note:
	When printing a batch of cards, the Printer can be encoding and
	printing one card while the Lamination Module laminates another card.)
	See Section 3: Card Lamination Module on page 136.
