2-2. Different TPH printing method (Compare to a photo printer) CS-200e (same as CS-3xx series) has a different printing method compare to original photo printers. The TPH moves toward the platen roller to transfer the dye onto the absorbing material instead of...
Confidential 2-3. Four types of thickness. Currently there are variety kinds of cards available for different purposes. The CS-200e can satisfy this need with a selectable function of different card thickness such as 1.0mm, 0.8mm, 0.5mm, and 0.3mm. 2-4. Double-side printing mechanism (only when a flipper module is attached) An external Flipper Module makes the flip function available easily.
Confidential 2-5. The new ADF apparatus The stepless “ADF Limit” device offers a different height of gap to feed 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm or 1.0mm PVC cards. The “Card Weight” device ensures the function of card feeding, even one card loaded inside only. Single card insertion design allows you to insert a cut-in card during a steak print job.
Confidential 2-6. New designed cleaning roller An easy replaceable (user removable) cleaning pipe is applied to remove the dust on the cleaning roller. The enhanced cleaning roller uses high durable material that could remove dust particles from printouts and the cleaning pipe is an “easy-to-remove" design allows the user to change this pipe easily and frequently.

The users could work to access the encoding functions only with “Card Desiree CS”...
Dye Diffusion Thermal Transfer (D2T2), we adopt the world’s leading photo printing technology in card printing processes, CS-200e uses a thermal printing head (TPH) to sequentially heat 5 ribbon panels that are coated with yellow, magenta, cyan, black and over-coating layer. The heat process turns the dye into gas that diffuses into a thin receiving layer on top of the card.
Confidential 3-2 Hardware Thermal Print Head (TPH) is the key component for a dye-sub printer. Thermal Print Head (TPH) Main Board Note: Main Board = Mother board The ASIC is an IC (Integrated Chip) located on the Main Board. The ASIC drives the USB controller, controls the embedded SDRAM, MCU I/F, USB I/F, memory I/F, and GIO interface.

Confidential Power Supply An AC/DC external adaptor has been applied in CS-200e. It is a universal input (100~240ACV) adaptor with +24.5 DCV output. ADF Motor (DC type) It controls the ADF roller locating in the bottom of card input hopper to move cards into the printer.

Confidential Cam Motor (DC type) Controls the position of Cam TPH and then move TPH to start the dye diffusion thermal transfer during printing. Ribbon Motors, Take Supply (DC type) Search & wind the ribbon to accurate printing position.

Ribbon sensors Ribbon LEDs In CS-200e, the way to determine color frame of the ribbon is by using two of LED’s/Sensors. Due to differences of LED colors, the ribbon sensor detects different high/ low value to locate the beginning of This printer also detects the color of ribbon frame while printing the previous frame.

Confidential Ribbon Chip sensor: The “Ribbon chip sensor” reads the chip of the ribbon cassette and shows how many prints are remained in your ribbon. Cover Sensor: The cover sensor could identify the cover is open or not (next to the ribbon sensors). A slice of rib locating next to the TPH is designed to block the cover sensor while the door is closed.
Page 21
Confidential Leading Edge, Jam Sensor & Exit Sensors: The purpose of Leading Edge (LE) sensor, JAM sensor and Exit sensor is to detect the status of the card. The status of these 3 sensors will be “OFF” when it detects the card and will be “ON” when they do not detect any card.
Page 22
Confidential Cam Sensor: Depend on the printer’s status; the positions of the TPH and the pinch roller stay different. The Cam controls the movement of the TPH and Pinch Roller between hese positions, and Cam sensor detects & sends information back to firmware. The difference of printing positions is as shown below: Ribbon Encode Sensor: There are 2 Ribbon Encode Sensors, one for Supply and one for Take.
