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 ② ③ ⑥ ⑤ ④ 9
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
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. Figure 2 Front side of Input Hopper 1 2 3 ① Card cartridge 500 cards can be loaded. ② Disposable cleaning roller holder Please install the disposable cleaning roller included with new ribbon. ③ Cartridge release button Please pull up card cartridge while pressing cartridge release button. ④ Indicator LED The status of Input Hopper is displayed by the color. ⑤ Physical lock Card cartridge is locked and can’t be taken out from Input Hopper. ⑥ Card gate Card is supplied to other module. 4 5 6 12
Figure 3 Rear side of Input Hopper 1.2.2 Encoding station (Being developed) SMART-70 Encoding Station is designed to read barcode printed on card and support various types of encoding.
