Term Definition
Oversized Cards Oversized cards are used for more efficient visual identification
and are available in many non-standard sizes. The most popular
sizes are CR-90 (3.63" x 2.37"/92mm x 60mm) and CR-100 (3.88"
x 2.63"/98.5mm x 67mm).
Overlaminate Protective clear or holographic material to increase security and
durability applied over the printed surface with a hot roller.
(Thin Film)
Overlaminate A 0.25-mil thick resin material that enhances card security and
durability applied over the printed surface with a hot roller.
Available as clear or with embedded holographic-type security
images.
Parallel A method of data transfer in which serial data is divided into
sections and sent simultaneously down parallel wires to speed
transfer rate.
Parallel port A communication socket on a device that allows for parallel data
transfer.
PC (Personal
Computer) A stand-alone, programmable, electronic device that can store,
retrieve and process data consisting of a CPU, mouse, keyboard
and monitor.
PCB (Printed Circuit
Board) A solid, multi-layered plate on which electronic elements are
attached, either through the board or on the surface.
Peel The removal of a film or ribbon from a card surface (at a
perpendicular angle) to ensure proper transfer, then separation,
from the card surface.
Peel-Off A bar on the lamination section that holds the film at the correct
position and provides proper peel angle.
Peripheral Any device that is attached externally to a PC. These often share
the same data cable or port as a Printer and may be the source of
communication problems.
Pinch roller A free spinning (non-driven) roller that presses the card against
the drive roller, on the opposite side, to ensure an adequate
normal force for proper traction.
