The specific EC2000 features available to a user depend on the card personalization software, its
configuration, and the configuration of the EC2000. For setup and usage instructions for card
personalization software, see the documentation for the software you are using.

About Transactions
Every request a user sends to the EC2000 to process a card is sent as a
transaction
. Transactions contain
instructions telling the EC2000 to perform one or more operations to the card. Common transactions
include issuing a new personalized card or changing the card PIN.
6.11.4
About the Transaction Queue
The EC2000 receives transactions from card personalization software either directly through a Local Area
Network, or by polling an Internet site. The card personalization software can send a transaction for
immediate processing, or may direct the EC2000 to hold the transaction in a queue.
When it receives queued transactions, the EC2000’s configuration determines whether it will immediately
process them or hold them in the queue until a user signals the EC2000 to process them. The EC2000
indicates queued transactions need to be manually processed by showing “AutoProcess: OFF” in the
lower right corner of the queue (see
).
Users will not be able to see or interact with queued transactions on the
Status
page unless
the EC2000 is configured to display the transaction queue. See section
8.9.1 About the QueueDisplay Configuration Option
for details.
