1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
SMART-70 is a high-performance large capacity ID card printer designed by the unique modular
concept that can support various printer configurations to meet different user requirements. 500
cards can continuously be printed, laminated and encoded on various card. SMART-70 consists of
6 different modules (① Input Hopper, ② Encoding station, ③ Printer, ④ Flipper, ⑤ Laminator, ⑥
Output Hopper) that can be configured in various combinations according to different customer
requirements. Required modules can easily be added to extend functions depending on your
needs.
Figure 1 Combination of SMART-70
Key features of SMART-70 are as follows.
Convenience
SMART-70 is sleekly designed, such as modern household appliances, to provide user-
friendly environment with the maximum convenience. Status LED on all modules can
indicate the status of each module at all times. Also, LCD and buttons on Printer and
Laminator are for user to check the status and set the configuration. Card, print ribbon
and other consumables can be changed in intuitive way, and all modules are equipped
①

with physical locks to provide high security feature.
Clear printing
SMART-70 can print clear images on card by using IDP’s FINE Technology that can
exquisitely control the heat of print head depending on the picture.
High Speed
SMART-70 can print 200 cards/hour for color (YMCKO) and 1,000 cards/hour for
monochrome. Since each module can independently work, multiple cards can be
simultaneously printed, encoded and laminated by the pipeline processing for
enhancing issuance speed.
High Capacity
SMART-70 is designed to support 500 cards capacity in Input Hopper, Printer,
Laminator and Output Hopper. Once card, print ribbon and laminating film are replaced,
500 cards can be continuously issued. Also, cards can be loaded and stacked the up to
3000 cards by using multiple Input / Output Hopper.
Encoding
SMART-70 can encode magnetic stripe and smart cards by using Encoding Station or
the encoding options installed into Printer module. In case of using Encoding station,
magnetic stripe card, contact and contactless smart card can be encoded and 1D & 2D
barcode on card can be scanned. Also, magnetic stripe and contactless smart card
encoder can be installed in Printer module.
Energy Saving
In order to save energy, SMART-70 is designed to minimize unnecessary power
consumption when the system doesn’t work. Since SMART-70 Laminator uses the
instant direct heating mechanism developed by IDP, it requires no warming-up for
laminating and no additional power consumption for maintaining the temperature of
the laminate head while on standby.
Reliability
Since the metal frame, stainless steel shaft and ball bearing is used for the high
durability, SMART-70 can be stably operated under the harsh environments of the
massive issuance environment.
10
Scratch Free
SMART-70 can protect a card surface while the card is in SMART-70 for printing and
encoding. 500 cards can be loaded in Input Hopper but the cards can be taken out
from Input Hopper without scratch by using the patented load distribution structure of
IDP. Also, it is designed that inserted cards don’t get in contact with any other
components except the rollers for card feeding in Printer, Laminator and other module.
In Output Hopper, the stacked cards are lifted up for preventing scratch when a new
card is inserted into Output Hopper.
Software
Since the card design and DB (Database) software for card issuance as well as the
printer driver is provided free of charge, users will not need to purchase additional
software. Utility programs for adjusting the configuration and checking the status of
Printer and powerful SDK (Software Development Kit) for easily developing customized
applications are also provided without coast.
1.2 Modules
SMART-70 can organize the card issuing system by combining the 6 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.
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
11
![](/img.php?id=2870684&img=bgc.png)
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.

1.2.5 Laminator
SMART-70 Laminator is the high performance laminator which cards are can be laminated with
high quality without warming-up by using the patented technology of the IDP’s “Instant direct
heating mechanism”. One roll of the holographic or clear laminating film can laminate 500 cards.
SMART-70 Laminator has following features.
LCD and 4 buttons on the control panel are for user conveniences and users can easily
check the status of Laminator and adjust configuration.
Indicator LED on the front side of Laminator displays the status of Laminator by using the
color, so user can intuitionally check the status of Laminator.
For improving the convenience of changing a laminating film, film cartridge is designed
as the drawer type and laminating film can easily be changed.
By using film cartridge lock lever, film cartridge can easily be locked and laminate head
can be moved up and down for the convenience of maintenance.
For the prevention of thefts, physical locking mechanism and Kensington lock are
designed and applied to Laminator.
For massive card issuance, metal frame, stainless steel shaft, ball bearing and high quality
materials are used to increase the stability and reliability of Laminator.
Conventional laminators must be needed warming-up time before laminating, but
SMART-70 Laminator can immediately laminate without having to wait by using IDP’s
Instant direct heating mechanism.
Instant direct heating mechanism of IDP uses bar-type laminate head to instantly increase
the temperature of laminate head and to reduce energy consumption to one-seventh
level compared with conventional method and to increase the lifespan of laminate head.
In order to prevent scratch on cards, Laminator is designed that cards don’t get in
contact with any other components except rollers when cards are being fed in Laminator.

1.2.6 Output Hopper
SMART-70 Output Hopper can stack with 500 cards after printing, laminating and encoding.
SMART-70 Output Hopper has the following features.
Cards can be conveniently collected by large capacity cartridge which 500 CR80 cards
(card thickness 0.8mm) can be loaded.
When card cartridge is taken out from Output Hopper, the gate of card 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 Output Hopper.
When card cartridge is full, Output Hopper can automatically check and notify the status.
When a card is inserted into Output Hopper, stacked cards are lifted up by the support
beam what is operated by internal CAM to protect card from scratch.
