When you execute CardPrinterTest, it will search connected printers by USB and Network
automatically and SMART-50 printer connected to USB has higher priority. Other printers could be
selected by pull-down menu. You can test all function with connected printer.
. Control is consisted by SBS(Step by Step), Move, Rotate, Etc. section and you can control printer by
each step.
SBS
SBS is to operate SMART-50 printer in SBS(Step-By-Step) mode which you can control the
printer using commands. In SBS mode, after printing data transmission, printing a card will be
run only by clicking “DoPrint”. It is the main difference between NORMAL mode and SBS mode.
When you click “Start”, SMART-50 is operated in SBS mode, and existing spooled data will be
eliminated. To exit SBS mode, click “Stop”.
Card
Card is to bring a card into printer and eject a card. “In” is to move a card from input hopper to
printer and “Out” is to move a card from printer to output hopper. In case the flipper is installed,
“Back” ejects a card to the back side.
Move
Move is to move a card to specific position in the inside of printer. “Print” is to move a card to
the printing position, and “Mag.” is to the magnetic encoding position, and “IC” is to the contact
smartcard encoding position, and “RF” is to the contactless smartcard encoding position. “To
Rotator” is to move a card from printer to flipper and “From Rotator” is to move a card from
flipper to printer. “from In” is to move a card from the card in sensor to where you define
position, and “from Out” is to move a card from the card out sensor to where you define position.
Rotate
Rotator is to flip over a card in the printer installed flipper. “Auto” is to move a card from printer
to flipper and flip over a card and move a card to the printing position automatically. “Batch” is
to repeat “Auto” as many times as the number of set. “To Bottom” is to turn to the backside of
card and “To Top” is to turn to the front side of card.
Etc
“Cleaning Roller” is to clean the roller by cleaning card automatically. “Use Log” is to display log
in message space.
4.2.3 Print
Print can be done through the CSD file which is designed by Smart Design program. Following the
steps in this section.
1. Click “…” button and select the CSD file.
2. Click “Open” button to prepare CSD file to print.
3.
Click “Print” Button to move print data to spool. In the NORMAL mode, Click “Print” button to
print a card, but in the SBS mode, “Print” button to transmit a printing data from PC to printer
and wait for printing. Therefore, you must click “DoPrint” to print in SBS mode. This function is
for detail control of printer.
4. Click “Close” button to close CSD file.
4.2.4. Batch
Batch is to repeat encoding/decoding test continuously. In the Repeat, you input the number of repeat
and click “Batch Start”, then the test is run as many times as the number of set. When you check
“Include Card In/Out”, each time the printer bring a card from input hopper and perform an encoding
65
test and eject the card. But if not, encoding test will be done only by one card. At that time, if there is no
card in the printer, the printer bring a card into the printer from input hopper and repeat the encoding test
on the card, and if there is a card in the printer, the encoding test is performed on the card repeatedly.
“Card Holding” is activated when “Include Card In/Out” is ticked. When “Card Holding” is ticked and the
repeat number is set, the printer repeats the encoding test as many times as the number of set in the
“Card Holding” without ejection. When it is completed, the printer ejects the card and brings a new card
into the printer and starts testing.
In the Setting, “Retry” is to retry the encoding test when the error occurred. “Prompt on Error” is to
display Pop up Message when the error occurred. If not, Error number will be counted without message.
The number of error is displayed at Error section.
4.2.5. Encoding
Magnetic: Magnet Stripe Encoding
“Read” is to read and display the data from magnetic stripe card. It is composed of “Do Read”
and “Read All Buffer” and runs “Do Read” and “Read All Buffer” sequentially.
“Do Read” is to read the data from magnetic stripe card and store the data in the buffer.
“Read All Buffer” is to transmit the date stored in the buffer to PC. If the track number is ticked,
the data of the ticked track is only transmitted to PC.
“Write” is to write the data to the magnetic stripe. It is composed of “Write All Buffer” and “Do
Write” and runs “Write All Buffer” and “Do Write” sequentially.
“Write All Buffer” is to transmit the data to the buffer.
“Do Write” is to write the data stored in the buffer to the magnetic stripe of card. You can
choose the magnetic foil type (LoCo or HiCo) and the track of magnetic stripe. “Random Fill” is
to create a random magnetic encoding data for testing.
Batch process repeats the following steps sequentially, Card “IN” Æ Move “Mag” Æ Magnetic
“Random Fill” Æ Magnetic “Write” Æ Magnetic “Read” Æ Card “OUT”.

IC(PC/SC) : Contact Smartcard Encoding
In SMART-30 printer, a contact smartcard encoder can be installed and SMART-50 printer
supports the contact smartcard encoder in the printer inside and the SIM encoder on the right of
front side. “IC(PC/SC)” is to test a contact smartcard and SIM encoding.
“Batch” is applied only to the contact smartcard encoding because SIM encoder is installed
outside and can’t move a card automatically.
“ICH Contact” is to bring the encoder head into contact with the IC chip of smartcard physically.
66
“ICH Discontact” is to separate the encoder head from the IC chip of smartcard physically.
“Init” is to recognize and display the installed contact smartcard reader. The recognized
encoder will be displayed at the pull down control.
“Contact” is to contact with the smartcard electrically and initialize.
“Reset” is to finish the function electrically. After “Contact”, you can run “Get ATR”, “Read”,
“Write” and “Clear”.
“Get ATR” is to read the ATR data.
“Read” and “Write” are to read and write the defined data (Name, Address and Phone). These
could not be applied to all cards.
“Clear” is to clear the displayed data (ATR, Name, Address and Phone).
In case the data is read and written using APDU, Read/Write can be done by APDU commands.
“Load APDU” is to read the stored APDU commands.
“Save APDU” is to save the displayed APDU commands.

In SMART-30 printer, a contactless smartcard encoder can be installed and SMART-50 printer
has the internal and external contactless smartcard encoder. RF(PC/SC) is to read and write the
contactless smartcard. Using internal encoder, the printer brings a card into the printer from input
hopper and encodes a smartcard. Using external encoder, after putting a card on the top cover,
you can encode because the antenna installed under the top cover is used. Therefore, “Batch” is
applied only to the internal contactless smartcard encoding.
“Contact” is to contact with the contactless smartcard electrically and initialize.
“Reset” is to finish the function electrically. After “Contact”, you can run “Read”, “Write” and
“Clear”.
