Duplex or smart card module
The optional duplex module flips the card to automatically print on both sides of the
card. If the printer includes an optional smart card module, it is located under the
duplex mechanism or in a duplex housing.
Top cover
The cover protects the internal parts of the printer from dust and debris. It also lessens
the sound from the printer.
Status light
The status light indicates that the printer power is on, is processing data, is ready to
receive data, or is in an error condition.
Card cartridge
The card cartridge holds blank cards to print. It holds about 100 cards (with a nominal
thickness of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm)). At the bottom of the card cartridge, the
exception card slot allows you to insert a single card that is different from the cards
in the card cartridge.
