About the Magna Class printer
The Magna Class photo ID printer includes the printer and a printer
driver which runs on a PC. The printer uses supplies such as print
ribbon and blank cards when printing cards.
The Magna Class printer prints full-color or monochrome images on
one or both sides of PVC cards. The images printed can include
photos, text, logos, barcodes and digitized signatures. The printer can
perform additional personalization tasks, such as encoding magnetic
stripe data and sending data to smart card chips. With the optional
overlay module, the printer can apply a durable polyester patch
(overlay) to one or both sides of the personalized card.
The printer driver receives digital information from a card creation
application and processes the data to send to the printer. When the
printer receives the data, it prints the card. The driver keeps track of
the progress of the card in the printer, and sends data for the next
card as soon as the printer is ready and the data is available.
