Secure Encryption
Secure encryption means that all data entered is converted into a secure form of code by your
software application before it is sent to the system. The printer decrypts the code and sends the
data to the magnetic stripe or smart card chip on the card.
The printer uses TLS encryption for maximum security. Refer to the printer’s Installation and
Administrator’s Guide for complete information about using secure printing.
