D-40 Operation Manual
1.6: Card Cleaning System:
As the card enters the Transport System, both sides of the card are cleaned by a set of rollers
and a brush. The top roller of the set is softer and more adhesive than the bottom roller. Any
dust or debris that accumulates on the lower roller is transferred to the top roller.
Periodically, the cleaning tape comes in contact with the top roller, transferring any foreign
matter from the top roller to the cleaning tape. By default the cleaning cycle occurs after
every 5 cards, but the timing of this process is user adjustable.
The Cleaning Brush is constructed of nylon (90%) and brass (10%) bristles
NOTE:
mounted in a galvanized steel channel. The purpose of the brush is to remove
large pieces of debris and to discharge any static electricity from the passing cards.
1.7: Optional Magnetic Encoding
ISO magnetic encoding is available for tracks 1, 2, and 3. During the encoding process
information is first written on the desired track(s), then it is read and verified. If the information
encoded does not verify with what was written, a retry of the entire write and read process is
made. The number of retries is user defined. If the card cannot be verified within the set number
of retries, the card will be sent to the reject tray, and a error message is displayed on the LCD
Screen. Operator intervention is required.
1.8: Optional SmartCard Programming
As the card is positioned in unit a solenoid is activated bringing the programming head in
contact with the card chip. SmartCard programming is a pass through operation - the D-40
positions the card, an external source is used to program the chip.
1.9 Flipper Mechanism
This mechanism can flip the card so that the reverse side of card can be processed.
1.10: Thermal Printing
As the card is sensed entering the print area, the PRINT HEAD is lowered. The foil starts
moving, and the PRINT HEAD prints the first vertical line across the width of the card. The
density is 300 DPI. Raster data is sent to the head one line at a time, turning on respective
dots on the Print Head to apply heat to the foil in the correct locations to form the picture,
letter, or barcode. When the last line is printed, the head is raised and the foil stops moving.
The card is moved to the next operation.
The large capacity printing foil roll is loaded on spools present on the unit itself.
