C1b - CONTACT SMARTCARD ENCODING
A printer tted with a smartcard contact station works in exactly the same way as a basic card printer. The Evolis smartcard contact
station is used to program chips to ISO 7816-2 standards.
ä
Contact station location
The contact station is a module tted in the factory. It is located over the path taken by the cards and before the print head. To make
contact with the station, the smartcard is positioned underneath it and is pushed mechanically upwards. The programming sequence for
a smartcard is always carried out before the printing.
Use only smartcards compliant with the ISO 7816-2 standard.
Never print over the chip.
