Chapter 3: Using the System
This section provides information about how a card travels through the
printer, printer controls, printing a test card, loading and replacing
supplies, and cleaning the printer.
How the Card Travels
The card is verified and sent to print from the PC. The hopper pick mechanism picks a card from
the input hopper and moves the card into the printer for processing.
Optionally, the card moves to the magnetic stripe encoding area or to the smart card park station,
depending on the type of card selected and the printer options installed. The finished card exits
the printer through the card output hopper.
