About the System
The CE870 Card Personalization System is used to produce on-site financial and
debit cards. Personalization includes processing magnetic stripe data, reading or
programming smart cards, embossing, and indenting financial data. The system
is designed to issue cards where the user is (called on-demand or instant
issuance).
The system receives data from a PC or other computer, personalizes the card
using that data, and presents a finished card. The system is a multi-component
system consisting of the following:
Printer Component
Provides print and encoding features. Processes magnetic
stripe data and programs smart card chips using secure
encryption.
Touch Screen
Component
(Optional)
Provides the interface for user authentication and card
production.
Embosser Component
Produces the raised characters and numbers on the front
of the card; an optional indenter can produce the indented
characters on the back or the front of the card.
