User’s Guide for the Magna™ Class Printer
See “PC and software specifications” on page 1-10 for more
information about the printer driver and the PC on which it runs.
Printer models
Several models of the printer are available. A printer can be ordered
with the following optional modules:
• Magnetic stripe module, for either 3-track encoding or single-
track NTT encoding. The module is installed in-line with the print
operation. It encodes data on the magnetic stripe and then
verifies the data.
• Smart card module. The smart card module is available with a
contact coupler, a contactless (RF) coupler, or with a contact
station with external coupler. A custom smart card application can
use the module to initialize and program the smart card chip on a
card.
• Duplex module, which can automatically print on both sides of the
card, and is required if a smart card module is present.
• Overlay module, to apply a durable polyester patch (overlay) to
one or both sides of the personalized card.
Tab le 1-1 lists the models and their features.
