DataCard CD820 Installation And Administrator's Guide

SD260L/SD360/SD460 Installation and Administrator’s Guide 5
Secure Printing Requirements
Secure printing consists of encrypting print commands and card data and transmitting the
information securely from the PC to the printer. To use encryption, your printer must support
secure printing. Printers that support secure printing are shipped with all communication
protocols (secure and non-secure) enabled. Refer to “Behavior” on page 51 for more information
about using the Printer Manager web interface to specify printer security settings.
When you use the Card Printer Driver, make sure that the secure printing protocol (DPCL2Secure)
is enabled and that the DPCL2 non-secure communication protocol is disabled. DPCL must remain
enabled for the Card Printer Driver to function. For more information, refer to your printer’s
Driver Guide.
If your card production site requires secure printing, use the following:
 Datacard SD260L, SD360, or SD460 card printers with DPCL2Secure enabled and DPCL2
disabled
 A PC that meets the PC requirements cited earlier in this section
 Ethernet or USB connections that meet the requirements
 A current browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome
Caution: Early models of SD printers (SD260L printers with serial numbers below
D11000, and SD360 printers with serial numbers below B17000) do not support
secure printing and handle only non-secure printing. You can install a mix of
secure and non-secure printers, but make sure to connect and install each secure
printer to the appropriate host PC during installation.
