User’s Guide for Magna™ Platinum™ Series Printers
If the smart card module uses a USB cable, wait until the driver is installed and a
sample card has been printed before setting up the smart card module.
If your printer has a smart card USB port, see the e-Guide for Magna™ Printers for
information about the files you need before connecting the smart card USB port and
the steps to follow. Use the following procedure if your printer has one or more serial
ports.
Connect an optional smart card serial cable
1 Connect a serial cable to the upper smart card serial port ( Figure 7-8 ) if a
contactless smart card module is installed in the printer.
The smart card serial cable must be a shielded DB9 serial cable, up to a
maximum of 9.8 feet or 3 meters long.
2 Connect a serial cable to the lower smart card serial port ( Figure 7-8 ) if a contact
module or a contact station is installed in the printer.

3 Use two smart card serial cables if both ports are installed on the printer. (The
smart card module contains both contactless (upper port) and contact (lower port)
couplers.)
4 Connect the other end of the smart card cable(s) to the appropriate port on the
PC. See information for your smart card application for the correct PC port(s) to
use.
5 Verify that port settings are correct. See “PC port settings” on page C-1 .
