Single Passport
Buffer
This module is used to synchronize multiple Laser Engraving
modules in one system to increase throughput when using
teamed (ganged) engraving. Single Passport Buffer
modules must be installed in pairs except when the module
is directly before a Booklet Closing module.

The Color Inkjet Printing module uses pigment to print 1200
dpi full-color, tonal, or black and white images and text on
the paper pages of a passport booklet. Vision registration
allows precise alignment to preprinted elements or the edge
of the page.
Secure Overlay The Secure Overlay module applies a protective coating to
the surface of the passport booklet page. The thin film
overlay serves as a protective barrier for personalized data
printed on the page and can have holographic or other
designs for protection from tampering.
Quality Assurance The Quality Assurance module captures digital images of
the horizontal and/or vertical page of a booklet as it passes
through the system. It can also verify the chip encoding in
the eBook and close the booklet before transporting it to
the next module.
Booklet Closing The Booklet Closing module closes the booklet after all
personalization is complete, and then passes it to the
Output module. This module is not needed when the system
includes the Quality Assurance module or the Contactless
Chip module.
Passport Output The Passport Output module—always the last module in the
core system—stacks booklets after processing. The module
contains a primary stack for completed booklets and a
secondary stack for rejected booklets. The system can have
multiple Output modules to hold more booklets or to group
booklets in separate stacks.
