Contact smartcard encoding
A printer fitted with a smartcard contact station works in exactly the same way as a basic card printer. The Evolis smartcard contact station is used to program
chips to ISO 7816-2 standards.
The Evolis product catalog also has printers equipped with a chip contact station and a built-in encoder. These encoders are connected to your PC via a USB
interface, which means encoding cannot be done with an Ethernet connection.
Contact station location
The contact station is a module that is either fitted in the factory or on site by your Evolis reseller. It is located over the path taken by the cards and behind
the print head. To make contact with the smart card, the contact station descends mechanically and presses against the card. The programming sequence
for a smartcard is always carried out before printing.
!
Use only smartcards compliant with the ISO 7816-2 standard.
Never print over the chip.
