About Smart Card
This section presents basic information about personalizing smart cards. Smart card processing
is different from other types of personalization, because the "smart card" step of
personalization is controlled by an application that is different from the rest of card
personalization.
Normally, smart card setup is provided by a value-added reseller or service provider.
Information about the smart card module installed and the type of cards to use can be
requested from your service provider or value-added reseller.
Requirements
The following items are required when personalizing smart cards:
A direct local connection
between the printer and the PC.
Smart card reader in the printer.
A smart card cable for the smart
card port used. The illustration
shows the location of the smart
card connection on the printer.
Card application that is
customized to work with the
printer and the smart card application (using the driver SDK or ID software application
with a smart card application manager)
Smart cards that work with the reader in the printer
Smart Card Codes on the Printer Label
The configuration label includes codes to identify the type and model of smart card module
installed in the printer. The following table lists the codes used on the configuration label.
Code on Label Type of Smart Card Module
S1 Integrator
S2 SCM Dual Interface Reader
The S1 value on the configuration label indicates that the printer was ordered from the factory
with the basic smart card components installed. An integrator must install a contactless reader
supplied by others.
If the S2 value is included in the configuration code, the printer has shipped from the factory
with the basic components of an S1, plus the SCM Dual (Contact/Contactless) Interface installed.
