Smart Card Contact Station

Laminating Contact 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. Loading

procedure for smart card laminate is exactly the same as for standard laminate as shown in

Chapter 2.

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). After loading

the Smart Card laminate in the upper cassette, trim the laminate along the cut line as shown.

Note • When using smart card or registered laminates, the laminate length value in the driver

may need to be adjusted; see Laminate Station Adjustment on page 64.
