F: Smart Card Options

Contact Smart Cards

Contact Smart Cards have a pad of contacts on the surface of the card that connect to the circuitry embedded into the card.

The printer responds to commands that position the card at the contact location, where the printer connects to the contacts on the Smart Card. Data to be encoded onto the Smart Card, and data read from the Smart Card, can interface via a connector on the printer’s rear panel (Contact Station), or encoding/decoding can be performed by logic on the printer’s Main PCBA (Contact Encoder).

All other printer operations remain the same.
