4.2. Card Printer Test Basically Card Printer use standard printer device so you can be used same as general paper printer. In the case of magnetic stripe, contact, contactless encoder option, you will need to install appropriate driver and operate individually. Encoding operation will be controlled by “CARD PRINTER SDK”. You can test all feature of printer by Card printer Test. Card Printer Test program is developed by using “SMART Printer SDK” 4.2.1.
4.2.2 Select printer and control When you execute CardPrinterTest, it will search connected printers by USB and Network automatically and SMART-50 printer connected to USB has higher priority. Other printers could be selected by pull-down menu. You can test all function with connected printer. . Control is consisted by SBS(Step by Step), Move, Rotate, Etc. section and you can control printer by each step.
test and eject the card. But if not, encoding test will be done only by one card. At that time, if there is no card in the printer, the printer bring a card into the printer from input hopper and repeat the encoding test on the card, and if there is a card in the printer, the encoding test is performed on the card repeatedly. “Card Holding” is activated when “Include Card In/Out” is ticked.
“ICH Discontact” is to separate the encoder head from the IC chip of smartcard physically. “Init” is to recognize and display the installed contact smartcard reader. The recognized encoder will be displayed at the pull down control. “Contact” is to contact with the smartcard electrically and initialize. “Reset” is to finish the function electrically. After “Contact”, you can run “Get ATR”, “Read”, “Write” and “Clear”. “Get ATR” is to read the ATR data.
“Clear” is to clear the displayed data (ATR, Name, Address and Phone). In case the data is read and written using APDU, Read/Write can be done by APDU commands. “Load APDU” is to read the stored APDU commands. “Save APDU” is to save the displayed APDU commands. “Clear APDU” is to clear the APDU section. “Send APDU” is to run the APDU commands.
