Definition
The speed at which the card moves across the lam Roller,
measured in seconds/inch (secs/in). This may be adjusted in the
Driver to ensure adhesion and card flatness.
The diffusion of dye out of the card surface and into another
receptive surface, such as a vinyl pouch card holder, resulting in a
faded image.
Also called dye diffusion/thermal transfer, it is the process of
heating a dye suspended in a cellulous substrate until the dye can
flow, diffusing into the dye receptive surface of the card or InTM.
This produces the image in the surface of the card.
An abbreviation for electronic card. A generic term used to
reference any card with built-in electronic devices such as smart
cards or prox cards.
The device in the Printer that accepts smart cards with an ISO
smart card contact station. This allows the user to write to the smart
card chip with a standard RS-232 interface in the back of the Printer
or with the optional built-in encoder.
Refers to the maximum printable area on a card resulting in printed
cards with virtually no border.
A type of parallel port mode, developed by Microsoft, to increase
the port throughput and improve performance.
An abbreviation for EEPROM.
A microchip based non-volatile memory storage device that can be
rewritten in the field. The chip can hold new values as the Printer
adapts its operational parameters.
An electro-mechanical interface to transfer data from the PC to a
chip or Magnetic Stripe built into the card.
