Appendix C
Printer Security
ID/Key
The optional ID/Key is a physical security key that is
programmed for each specific P630i or P640i printer. It is
intended to prevent unauthorized use of that printer.
The ID/Key has a non-alterable memory containing a unique
64-bit serial number that is compared prior to each print job
with a serial number stored in the printer’s nonvolatile RAM.
If the serial numbers fail to match, or if no ID/Key is detected,
the printer is disabled. The ID/Key is carried in a 2” x ¾”
plastic fob that plugs into a receptacle to the right of the card
hopper. Typically, at the end of each work session the ID/Key
is removed from the printer and stored in a secure location
such as a key safe.
Replacing a Lost ID/Key
Important • If the ID/Key is removed during a card printing session, the printer will cease to
operate after the current batch of cards is printed.
