1.6 Compatible Card Systems
The CX-one can be upgraded with many read/write modules for ISO cards. Magnetic
cards, chip cards or contactless chip cards can not only be printed onto, but
electronically modified as well.
Card specifications regarding size, tolerance, quality and implementation must be
compatible with the relevant ISO standards for chip or magnetic cards.
The printer is compatible with most known TRW materials. However, we cannot
guarantee that the printer will work with any particular card.
As this technology is an emerging one, no specific standards are currently available. It
is for this reason that ISO standards for magnetic and chip cards are used for material
specifications.
The following standards are used to specify the quality of usable cards:
ISO 7810, ISO 7811 parts 1 to 5, ISO 7812, ISO 7813, ISO 7816
Thickness of Cards:
This device is made to process cards with thickness between 0.3 mm and 0.9 mm.
To ensure the quality of the TRW surface, we also recommend the following additional
process:
1. Production of 30 sample cards
2. Order a test-run from CLEARjet
3. Testing and approval of sample cards by CLEARjet
4. Depositing of test cards by the client as a standard for later comparison
5. Agreement between client and card producer that all future cards must be identical
with the sample set (same production parameters, materials, card specifications,
tolerance levels, etc.)
6. Spot checks of card sets on delivery, as well as comparison with sample cards.
