1.2 Modules
SMART-70 can organize the card issuing system by combining the 5 different modules. In this
case, Printer communicates with the PC and controls the other modules. If Laminator is used
without Printer, Laminator will control other modules. This chapter shows the features of each
module.
1.2.1 Input Hopper
SMART-70 Input Hopper can be loaded up to 500 cards and supply a card at a time. SMART-
70 Input Hopper has the following features.
LED Indicator on the front side of Input Hopper displays the status of Input Hopper
by using the color, so user can intuitionally check the status of Input Hopper
Cards can be conveniently loaded by using large capacity card cartridge which 500
CR80 cards (card thickness 0.8mm) can be loaded.
The gate of card cartridge can be easily adjusted depending on the thickness of card.
When card cartridge is taken out from Input Hopper, the gate of cartridge is
automatically closed for preventing the loss of cards.
In order to prevent the theft of cards, physical locking mechanism can prevent card
cartridge from being taken out from Input Hopper.
For solving the problem caused by dust, both sides of card are cleaned when the
card is supplied.
The cleaning device is easily managed by changing the disposable cleaning roller
included in new print ribbon package whenever print ribbon is changed.
Since cards in cartridge pushed by special structure of IDP’s patented technology,
cards are stably supplied even if the cards are stuck by the static.
500 cards are loaded, but the loaded cards don’t make scratch because the weight of
loaded cards is dispersed when the lowest card has to be supplied.
When card cartridge is empty, Input Hopper can automatically check and notify the
status.
