Test Procedure
1. Connect the printer’s smart card interface to the computer. (If the interface
uses a USB port, connect it to a USB port on the computer.)
2. Insert a smart card into the printer’s exception slot with the contacts on the
top side and toward the rear of the printer.
3. From the Smart Card menu, select Test Card. When the test card window
first opens, the Diagnostics software will poll the computer to identify all
smart card readers. This will take a few seconds.
4. From the Reader type list, select the card reader that Diagnostics should use.
5. Select Smart card front from the smart card choices. (If you select Smart card
back, the card must be loaded with the contacts on the bottom side of the
card and toward the front.)
6. Select in the Graphics and Mag stripe options box what personalization
should be done to the card during the test. (Text will be printed on the card
for all selections except None and Mag stripe back.)
7. Click on the Start button.
• The card is personalized and sent to the smart card module.
• When the card is detected in the smart card module, the Card in Position
indicator turns red.
• Shortly afterward, the ATR (answer to reset) is displayed.
• The card pauses in this position so that an external software application
can interact with the card.
8. If necessary, perform additional testing on the card using the customer
software application.
9. Click on the Smart card continue button to eject the card and display the
results in the status window.
