8 HOPPER (CARD FEEDER)
8.1 General Information
With the hopper, cards are fed from the card stack automatically to the printer for further
processing. Basically every type of card can be used (chip, magnet, barcode, and so
on), as long as the cards fulfil the following conditions:
8.2 Card Specification
• The physical characteristics of the card such as card thickness, dimensions,
surface, and so on must comply with ISO 7810
• Embossed cards cannot be processed with this device!
• There are 2 models of the option available
- for card thickness 0.76 mm (ISO 7810)
- for card thickness 0.3 mm (thin plastic)
• Cards must be even. Bent cards cannot be processed reliably.
8.3 Technical Data
Capacity of the card stack: approx. 50 cards (0.76 mm)
approx. 120 cards (0.3 mm)
Function principle: friction roller
Special characters: removable card magazine
8.4 Application Note
The function principle of the hopper depends on the transport of the lowest card of the
card stack into the printer mechanism by the individualising roller. Since the cards are
generally polluted on the surface by different particles, the individualising roller of the
device is also polluted. To guarantee a faultless function, it is necessary to regularly
clean the individualising roller (depends on the amount of cards and the pollution
degree of the cards).
The individualising roller of the hopper cannot be cleaned with the self-cleaning card.
This roller must be cleaned manually with clear water or soapsuds.
Possible Combination
• Hopper + magnet encoder
• Hopper + contact chip encoder transport
• Hopper + contact chip contact unit transport
• Hopper + RF chip encoder transport
• Hopper + barcode reader
• Hopper + direction detector
