2.2 Advanced Hardware Installation
When more than one same module is installed on SMART-70 system or encoding option is installed
into Hybrid Flipper, additional configuration is needed.
2.2.1 Module ID of SMART-70
Each module of SMART-70 has a specific ID to communicate with each other because a system
of SMART-70 is combined by multiple modules. In that case, if a printer is combined in the
system, the printer is a main agent of the communication, and if a printer is not combined in
the system, a laminator is a main agent of the communication.
The main agent of communication should only be a Master. Thus, the first printer should be the
Master and other printers should be the Slave when more than two printers are combined in a
system, and the laminators combined in the system should also be the Salve. The default
setting of SMART-70 Printer is the Master and SMART-70 Laminator is the Slave.
SMART-70 consists of Input Hopper(I), Printer(P), Laminator(L), Hybrid Flipper(H) and Output
Hopper(O). One byte is used for the module ID, the high four bits are for the module type and
the low four bits are for the module number. The module ID is as below.
When more than one same modules are combined in a system of SMART-70, the module ID
should be adjusted for distinguishing each other of the same modules.
For example, in case of IPHPLHLO, the module ID should be adjusted as below because two
printers, two Hybrid Flippers and two laminators are combined in a system of SMART-70.
