Smart card port(s)
On printers equipped with the smart card option, use one or more of these connectors
for the cable from the PC or contact station that carries the data to encode on the
smart card chip. If the printer does not have any smart card options, the ports will not
be installed in the printer.
Security lock receptacle
Included on all printers, an optional printer security lock can be inserted in this
receptacle to secure the printer to the work surface.
How options are identified in this manual
This manual describes all of the features of the Magna printer, including all the
options. Because many printers do not have all options, the following method is used
to help you identify information that applies to an option.
The icons for each option are:
When you see the icon for an option, use the section or follow the step if you have the
option installed in your printer. If your printer does not have the option, you can ignore
the section or step.
Who to call for assistance
If you work with a Datacard-authorized dealer, distributor, or value-added reseller,
contact them for assistance. A value-added reseller provides the Magna printer as
part of an overall system.
If any contents of the box are missing, contact your Datacard-authorized dealer,
distributor or reseller. If you purchased your printer directly from Datacard, contact
Datacard. Contact the Datacard Customer Care Center at 1.800.328.3996 for
service in the United Stated and Canada. For worldwide service, call the Datacard
Customer Care Center directly at 952.988.2316. Make sure you have the serial
