Overview
Card cartridge lock (optional)
The optional card cartridge lock allows you to lock the card cartridge into position,
preventing cards from being removed without authorization. Some printers have two
locks to meet the security requirements of the organization.
Card output stacker
The card output stacker holds the cards after they have been processed. Both
completed cards and rejected cards go to the card output stacker.
Optional laminator module
The optional laminator module applies a protective surface to the card. A printer can
have a topcoat module or an overlay module, but not both. "Laminator" is the general
term that describes the module that applies the protective surface.
Overlay module (optional)
The overlay module is available on ImageCard Magna printers. It applies a laminate
(die-cut polyester patch) to one or both sides of the card after it has been
personalized. You can choose the DuraGard™ protective laminate or a holographic
laminate. Both provide a durable and long-lasting protective surface to the card. The
holographic laminate includes a tamper-evident image.
Topcoat module (optional)
The topcoat module is available on ImageCard Magna printers. It applies a protective
film to one or both sides of the card surface to protect card images. The topcoat
applied can be clear or it can include a hologram or other images that make the card
resistant to tampering.
Ready button
The Ready button allows you to pause the printer while printing a card, to clear an
error condition, to cancel a print job and delete all data for the job, or to create a
printer test card.
