2.3.4.3 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. Note that this procedure also applies to registered laminates.
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.
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 above.
Note • Check if the patch roll is centered on the core; if not, gently tap the roll on a flat
surface to re-center it.

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