User’s Guide for Select™ Platinum Series™ Printers
A printer can be ordered with the following optional modules:
•
Duplex module. The duplex module extends the length of the printer and flips the
card to automatically print on both sides of the card. The printer label includes the
number “2” if the printer has a duplex module.
•
Magnetic stripe module, for either 3-track (IAT) encoding or single-track NTT (J)
encoding. The module is installed in-line with the print operation. It encodes data
on the magnetic stripe and then verifies the data.
•
Smart card module. The smart card module can have one of the following:
–
Contact coupler (SC4xx on the printer label)
–
Contactless (RF) coupler (SC680 on the printer label)
–
Proximity coupler (SC-x, where x represents the brand of coupler)
–
Both contact and contactless couplers (SC4/6 or SC4/SC-x on the printer
label)
–
Contact station (SCCS on the printer label) with external coupler
A custom smart card application can use the module to initialize and program
the smart card chip on a card.
Table 1-1 lists the models and their features.
Monochrome printing uses a ribbon with a single color, such as black. To optimize
monochrome printing, use a monochrome printhead.
