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.
 
Settings for Card Design in Printer Manager
Printer Manager contains card design settings that managers and service providers can use to set 
up card production. The card design settings include magnetic stripe setup and smart card 
testing. Printer Manager also contains troubleshooting features such as a log file that can track all 
processes of a card job. Service providers can use the information in the log file to troubleshoot 
and relay information when troubleshooting card processing issues. Refer to Chapter 3: "Printer 
Manager” 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.
