Appendix C
Smart Card Contactless
Encoder
Introduction
Smart cards can have a built-in microprocessor and/or memory chip. The printer may be
equipped with an optional contactless station for programming Smart Cards. Smart card
contactless encoders utilize a short-range radio signal. Use of the encoder is entirely under
control of the third-party application program -- no operator action is required. All other
printer operations remain the same as the standard model.
This section contains information on the additional operations of a P630i or P640i Printer
equipped with the optional Smart Card Contactless Station.
Media Loading Orientation
For contactless smart-cards, orientation is not a consideration (unless the card will be printed
on; see below).
