Serialized Overlay With Bar Code - DataCard CD800 User Manual

Serialized Overlay with Bar Code

Serialized overlay is a special patch that is designed to provide an additional level of security to
your cards. The overlay includes a unique serialization code matched with a bar code. The
optional bar code scanner in the laminator retrieves the unique value printed on each serialized
overlay patch by reading the matching bar code printed on the lamination material next to the
patch. This value is returned to your application, which can store the information in a file to
provide a traceable identifier that links the patch applied to the card with the other data used to
personalize the card.
Registered Holographic Serialized Patch
The bar code scanner is located inside the laminator in front of the L1 laminator cartridge. The
serialized overlay is always loaded in the L1 cartridge.
You must use the XPS Windows Driver Software Development Kit (SDK) to incorporate serialized
overlay in your card production. Refer to the SDK Programmer's Reference Guide for complete
information.
