Smart Card Codes on the Printer Label
The configuration label includes codes that identify the type and model of the smart card module
installed in the printer. The following table lists the codes used on the configuration label.
The S1 value on the configuration label indicates that the printer has the basic smart card
components installed. Basic components include the mounting hardware only. An integrator
must install a contactless reader.
If the Sx value is included in the configuration code, the printer has the basic components of an
S1, plus the appropriate interface installed.
Single-Wire Smart Card
Single-wire smart card processing allows a single USB or Ethernet connection with the printer to
carry data for both smart card personalization and printing.
The single-wire smart card feature is available to an application through the Windows Driver
Software Development Kit (SDK), or through your card personalization software.
Required components for single-wire smart card are the same as for other smart card systems
except as noted.
Code on Label Type of Smart Card Module
S1 Integrator Contactless
S14 OMNIKEY HID, Loosely Coupled, Contactless
S16 OMNIKEY HID, Single Wire, Contactless
S18 DUALI Next Gen, Single Wire, Contact/Contactless
S19 Identive Next Gen, Loosely Coupled, Contact/Contactless
The smart card readers available vary by printer model. Contact your authorized dealer
for more information.
The single-wire smart card programming interface is similar, but not identical, to
the PC/SC standard. Applications using PC/SC to personalize smart cards require
modification to use the single-wire smart card interface.
