Contactless encoding of smartcards (RFID)
The Evolis product catalogue includes printers equipped with a built-in encoder for contactless chips.
This encoder is connected to the computer via a USB interface.
Encoding cannot be performed with an Ethernet connection.
There is a very wide variety of contactless smartcards, and each card has specific technical properties associated with an equally specific type of encoder.
Contact your Evolis reseller for further information.
Location of the antenna / encoder with built-in antenna
With a specific command, the card is positioned close to the antenna such that the card lies within its radio range.
Reading data from or writing data to the card can then start.
The encoding sequence for a chip is always carried out before the card is printed.
Card positionning
There are no restrictions on card positioning when encoding in contactless mode (except for cards comprising other encoding technologies: magnetic and/or
contact smartcards).
If the cards used are fitted with mini-antennae, contact your card supplier for further information about where such mini-antennae are located within the card.
Position the card as close as possible to the encoder’s antenna to ensure optimum encoding.
Computer connection
For more information on encoding a contactless smartcard or on the configuration of the card present signal, contact your Evolis reseller.
A smartcard can be encoded with cardPresso software or Evolis SDK and the SDK of the encoder.
