APPENDIX B
This section contains information on the additional operations of a P430i Printer equipped
with the optional Smart Card Contact Station. (See Chapter 2 for location.)
Introduction
Smart Cards can have a built-in microcomputer and/or memory to store fingerprints, voice
recognition patterns, medical records, and other such data. The P430i Printer may be equipped
with an optional contact station for programming Smart Cards (ISO 7816). This printer model
responds to commands that position the card at the contact station, where the printer connects
to the contacts on the Smart Card. All other printer operations remain the same as the standard
P430i model.
