Laminating smart cards
The laminating patch on the top surface of a smart card has a
rectangular aperture to expose the card’s electrical contacts. In
all other respects the laminating process for smart cards is the
same as for ordinary cards.
The special laminate for the top cassette is punched with a repeated pattern.
The smaller hole is an index marker that tells the printer where
to cut the laminate, exactly splitting the index hole (the printer
driver allows adjustment of the cut location).
Loading procedure for smart card laminate is exactly the same
as for standard laminate.
Caution • Improper replacement of the transfer
guide will cause laminate skewing and
misfeeding. Be sure the transfer toggleis set to
RUN. Take care not to damage the transfer
roller ribs when replacing the transfer guide.
