Overview
User’s Guide for the ImageCard® IV Printer
How the printer works
The ImageCard IV printer produces personalized cards. The following describes the
process used to print cards:
The numbers in
Figure 1-6
illustrate each step.
1
The printing process begins with a card creation application running on a PC. In a
card creation application, you assemble the elements of the card design. The
elements can include a photo, logo, text (name, identifying number, and so on)
and perhaps data to print as a barcode, encode on a magnetic stripe, or program
in a smart card.
2
When you select the print button, the card data is sent to the printer driver, which
prepares the data for the printer.
3
The printer driver sends the data, along with control information, to the printer.
4
The printer starts the job by picking a card from the card input tray.

5
Inside the printer, the following happens:
–
The card passes through the cleaning rollers. If the printer includes an
optional particle detector, the card passes through that module also.
–
The card moves to the turret, which positions the card at the first station to
process it.
–
A smart card chip, if the module is present, is programmed first. The card is
moved again to the turret which feeds it to the print station.
–
A magnetic stripe, if the module is present, is usually encoded next.
