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.
Media Loading Orientation for Contact Smart Cards
Place the cards in the Input Hopper in the correct orientation as shown (with the gold-plated
Smart Card contacts at the top surface of the card and facing to the left). Ensure that the cards
are seated properly the hopper.
