4.9 WORKING WITH OCÉ’S SMARTCHIP MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM
4.9.1 Introduction
The smartchip management system allows the user to control the ink volumes of the smartchip cards either
on the cassettes or centrally in the printer.
Caution :
Don’t pull any smartchip cards from ink cassettes to use them in the reader. The
ink value on the smartchip cards of the cassettes will be transferred to the
smartchip management system when using the printer mode.
4.9.2 Explaining the smartchip management system
Firmware incorporating the smartchip management system, makes it possible to work in the
cassette mode
(original mode) or the
printer mode
(ink volume from the smartchip cards is centrally managed by the
printer)
A. Cassette mode
The ink volume transfer is happening WHILE printing. The more you print, the more ink volume is being
SIMULTANOUSLY transferred. The image below shows the ink volume transfer flow WHILE printing.
