Smart cards (select models
only)
A smart card is a credit card–sized accessory that carries a
microchip containing memory and a microprocessor. Like
personal computers, smart cards have an operating system to
manage input and output, and they include security features to
protect against tampering. Industry-standard smart cards are used
with the smart card reader (select models only).
A personal identification number (PIN) is needed to gain access
to the contents of the microchip. For more information about
smart card security features, refer to the Help and Support Center.
