The card printer is used with other equipment and software to create a card production system.
The system produces cards for a specific purpose, and the cards must meet requirements.

2. Capture devices, such as:
 A digital camera connected to the PC to take photos for ID badges and other cards.
 A signature capture pad, fingerprint reader, or PIN pad
3. The printer with supplies and a facility power source.
4. A data connection between the printer and PC, which can be a USB connection or a network
connection. (You cannot use both with one printer.)
Tasks and Users
Typical roles in a card production system include:
 The operator, who makes cards, loads supplies, and handles minor problems such as card
jams.
 The system administrator, who sets up the card printer and other hardware, sets up card
designs, configures card production software, and identifies the best use of the card printer
in the organization.
