Embossing and Indenting Design
The CE870 Embosser is the
component of a card production
system that creates the raised
lettering and numbering that is seen
on the front of most financial or debit
cards. Inside the embosser, you will
find the embossing wheel and
topping- and indent-ribbon
cartridges. The embossing wheel can
be purchased with up to 112 punch
and die pairs. Other features of the
embossing wheel that are determined at time of purchase include multiple font
choices and a variety of special characters.
The embossing wheel can also be purchased with indent characters to produce
characters that are pressed into (indented) the front or back surface of the card.
The most common use of indent characters is to create the Card Security Code
(CSC), sometimes called the Card Verification Value (CVV) on financial credit
and debit cards. Indent ribbon is avaiable in two colors (black or white) and a
special paneld ribbon is also available (paneled black and white).
The CE870 Embosser can emboss up to five lines of text or numbers. Topping foil
is available in five colors and is heat sealed to the embossed characters.
Settings for Card Design in Printer Manager
Administrators and service providers can use the Printer Manager to perform
system setup tasks and troubleshoot the system.
The Printer Manager contains card design settings that managers and service
providers can use to set up card production. The card design settings include
magnetic stripe setup and smart card testing. The Printer Manager also contains
troubleshooting features such as a log file that can track all processes of a card job.
Service providers can use the information in the log file to troubleshoot and relay
information to service providers when troubleshooting card processing issues.
