Smart Card Encoder
Introduction
This section contains information on the additional operations of a P100i Printer equipped
with optional contact and/or contactless smart card encoders.
Smart cards can have a built-in microprocessor and/or memory.
Contact smart card encoders physically make electrical connection via a contact pad on the
card. Contactless smart card encoders utilize a short-range radio signal.
Use of either type of smart card encoder is entirely under control of the third-party application
program -- no operator action is required.
