Printer Components: Access Card Slot to Parallel Interface Port
Component Description
Resin Thermal
Transfer Resin Thermal Transfer is the print method the Printer uses to print
sharp black text and crisp bar codes that can be read by both infrared
and visible-light bar code scanners.
Like dye-sublimation, this process uses the same thermal Printhead to
transfer color to a card from a resin-only Print Ribbon or the resin black
(K) Panel of a full color Print Ribbon.
The difference, however, is that solid dots of resin-based ink are
transferred and fused to the surface of the card. (Note: This produces
very durable, saturated printing.)
Access Card
Slot If using the Printer's optional SmartGuard Security Feature, this is the
slot in which a SmartGuard Access Card is inserted.
Card Input
Hopper Load blank cards into this hopper.
Card Output
Hopper Stores printed cards.
Card
Lamination
Module Works in conjunction with the Printer to apply a variety of different
overlaminates to printed cards, providing increased card durability and
security. The Module has its own LED indicator light and control
buttons; so it can be operated separately from the Printer. (Note:
When printing a batch of cards, the Printer can be encoding and
printing one card while the Lamination Module laminates another card.)

Section 3: Card Lamination Module on page 136.
