About the CD800 Card Printer
The card printer applies images, text, and encoded data to plastic cards. It prints
full ‐ color and monochrome images, depending on the print ribbon installed.
A busy issuance site might issue up to 10,000 cards a month. During these busy
times, the site might use more than one printer to keep up with demand. The
printer issues cards either one at a time or in batches—up to 100 cards at a time.
A 200 ‐ card input hopper is available and can be installed without tools. In
addition, an optional multi ‐ hopper with six input hoppers, each with a
100 ‐ card capacity, is available.
Other options available for the card printer include magnetic stripe, smart card,
and automatic duplex modules, and a reject hopper. The configuration label on
the printer shows the options installed. Refer to “System Label” on page 10 for
more information about recognizing the factory ‐ installed options on your card
printer. An optional laminator also is available when you purchase your printer or
as a field upgrade (refer to "CLM Laminator" on page A ‐ 1 .)
