Contactless Smart Cards
Rather than using a contact pad, Contactless Smart Cards use various short-range radio
technologies to “connect” to the printer. The printer moves the card to an antenna location
on the card path, and the encoding or decoding occurs. All other printer operations remain
the same.
Media Loading Orientation for Contactless Smart Cards
For Contactless Smart Cards, orientation is not a consideration.
Printing on Contactless Smart Cards
With reverse transfer printing technology, there are no restrictions when designing material to
be printed on Contactless Smart Cards.
