SMARTCARD READER
An embedded SmartCard Reader is provided on your
LifeBook. SmartCards are the same size and shape as
credit cards, but they contain an integrated micropro-
cessor chip. The chip can hold a variety of different
information, and provides the user with many possible
options, such as allowing them to make secure
purchases, pay for phone calls, store security inf orma-
tion, and provide personal identification and informa-
tion.
In order to use the embedded SmartCard Reader, you
must purchase an optional SmartCard adapter f or
installation into an available Type II PC Card slot.
