4.1.3 Adjustment of Printer Setup

x 4.1.3.1 Printing Location
SMART Card Printer is the direct thermal printer and need to
some setting to print all over the card surface.
In CardPrinter setup, if press Print button, the image like left
side will be printed. In this time, if four circles on each side are
printed well and the space of upper & bottom is in 0.5mm, it is
proper setting.
For correct setting, you can adjust the setup value as follows.
1.
Do not make too much space on left and right side as

adjusting X start position value.
2.
Do make the image start point in 0.4mm ~ 0.5mm from

the card upper side as adjusting Y start position value.
3.
Do make the image end point in 0.4mm ~ 0.5mm from the

card bottom side as adjusting Y end position value. In this
case, Y scale value should be input more bigger than the
proper setup value.
4.
Do make the four circles can be shown fully as adjusting

Y scale value.
51
x 4.1.3.2 Printing Thickness

SMART Card Printer is direct thermal printer. Use the thermal heat to print. To print the correct and
proper printing, the thermal heat should be different in color printing, resin black printing, overlay printing.
So for the best printing image, some adjustment is needed.
[ Color Printing Thickness ]
Color printing is print the color image using the color ribbon. SMART printer can print 16,777,216 color. In its color
printing thickness, the color expression range can be widen and get the clear image by printing so thickly as possible as
the ribbon is allowed. However if it is too thick, the ribbon can folded and there might be green or red bad image. And if it
is too weak, the image is not clear as below third figure. Set the proper thickness.
Too strong
Proper
Too weak
52
[ Resin Black Printing Thickness ]

Resin Black is used to print the black clearly such as the barcode or text. It print the black which extracted by the printer
device driver or set as black in Smart Design. The red box in the below figure is printed by resin black.
Resin Black is printed as binary type, not level for the printing result. So the setting standard of printing thickness is
different.
If the thickness is too strong, the barcode is not clear and too widen. And if too weak, the barcode is printed too short. Set
the resin black printing thickness properly to get the clear barcode printing. Not too strong but a little bit strong is best.
Too strong
Proper
Too weak
53
[ Overlay Printing Thickness ]

Overlay is coating to the surface of card for the protection of printing image. Usually the overlay print all over the card
surface but it can be printed in specific area by the device driver or Smart Design software.
Overlay is binary type such as black resin, print or not. So the setting standard of printing thickness is different.
If it is too strong, it is too dull and can be occurred the bad overly such as left figure. And if too weak, some area will not
be overlaid. You can check it if place the card under light. So set the overlay printing thickness properly. Not too strong
but a little bit strong is best.
Too dark
Proper
Too weak
54
x 4.1.3.3 Ribbon Movement

SMART Card Printers ribbon movement is variable to make the interference minimized. So to get the stable image quality,
set the proper ribbon movement setting. As below graph SMART Card Printer is control the speed of printing and normal
movement differently to get the regular speed. And its movement speed is changed for the remained ribbon balance. Set
the movement speed as below graph.
RMP control the ribbon movement when printing. If set too low, the ribbon can not be rewind and the problem can be
occurred. On the contrary if set too strong, the rolling speed is too fast so there might be bad image.
RMM control the normal movement. If set too low value, the printer is stop as print head is adhered with ribbon. If too high,
the ribbon rolling speed is too fast so the correct printing position can not be detected.
(We recommend to not change RMP and RMM until there is critical problem)

55
x 4.1.3.4 Rotator
Rotator can be attached as option. When there is no printing, the rotator keep the horizontal flat. So the setup of rotator is
to make it the horizontal flat by adjusting its angle.
Rotate Top and Rotate Bottom are the accurate setting when the rotator is front side or back side to make a horizontal
flat with the card movement passage. This value is between -30 ~ 30 and + is upper adjustment, - is down adjustment.
(We recommend that there is rotator card jam problem.)
56

Magnetic Stripe Encoder can be installed as option. It is encoder module which can read/write to the three tracks to the
magnetic stripe card in ISO specification. The magnetic track can be saved as SC, SS, TD, ES, LRC, SC format.
In recording the magnetic data, the location of SS (Start Sentinel) should be apart 7.44 0.5 mm from the card edge as
ISO spec. SS location can be adjusted using Magnetic Space. If Magnetic Space value is higher, it is more far from the
card edge.

63
x 4.1.3.8 Etc.
[ Printer ID ]
To use SMART printers SDK, you have to set the printer which you want to use. And in this case you need to get ID to
distinguish the printer and it named as Printer ID. Normally we use one PC and one SMART card printer so do not need to
concern. However if use more than one SMART card printer is connected with PC or want to use the several card printer
using networking function, you have to set the different Printer ID per each card printer.
To change Printer ID, press Change Printer ID and when there is pop up window, input Printer ID and press O.K. The
changed Printer ID will be activated after rebooting of SMART card printer.
The default Printer ID is SMART.
64
[ Use USB Serial ]

In SMART Card Printer, even if you change the USB port, you do not need to install the printer driver. This is because
their own ID is used in USB communication. Basically every printer have their own ID but considering the general usage
circumstance and the convenience of maintenance, it is set as same ID. So if want to use more than one printer in one PC,
you have set the different ID (this is not same as Printer ID we explained already). Use USB Serial is ID which is used
when the printer is recognized by USB and the serial no. of printer will be used as ID.
To activate Use USB Serial, change Use USB Serial to Use and press Set Config. button. This change will be
activated after SMART printer is reboot.
When use more than one SMART printer in one PC, Use USB Serial should be set as Use. If not, PC might be not
working.

4.2 Test
4.2.1 Outline
CardPrinter Test is to test the all function of SMART Card Printer. To operate CardPrinter Test program,
the device driver should be installed to PC and SMART printer should be connected.
Card Printer use the standard printer device driver so it can be printed same as general printer. However
if there is encoder, it need to install the driver which the encoder is required. In this case the printers
detailed operation can be controlled using Card Printer SDK. CardPrinter Test program is developed by
Card Printer SDK.
CardPrinter Test is consist of Choice, Control, Print, Allocation, Encode, State, Message.
Choice : Choose the printer when there is more than one printer is connected.
Control : Order the command such as Card In, Out, Move and Rotate.
Print : Print the image.
Allocation : Set the encoding number.
Encoding : Do magnetic stripe encoding, SmartCard and Contactless SmartCard encoding.
State : Check the printers state.

67
x 4.2.2.2 Control
Control is consist of SBS, Card, Move, Rotate, Etc. and it is used to control the printers each step.
SBS is the operation of SBS (Step-By-Step) mode. The user can control SMART printer using the command. The
difference of NORMAL mode and SBS mode is that the printer do printing after get the printing command(DoPrint). If
press Start in SBS, SMART printer operate as SBS mode and in this time if there is printer spool, it will be removed.
To close SBS mode, press Stop.
Card is the command for Card In / Out. IN is for moving the card to the printer inside and OUT is the command to
card out to the stacker. Back is to out the card to back side.
Move is the command to move the card. Print is to move the print location, Mag. is magnetic location, IC is
SmartCard location, RF is Contactless SmartCard location, To Rotate is move to the inside of rotator, From Rotate
is move the card from rotator inside to the printer inside.
Rotate is for the card flipping. When the card is the printer inside if do Auto command, the card is move to rotator and
flip and move to the printing location. Batch is repeat as set. To bottom is the card flip to back side. To Top is the
card flip to front side. For Etc., Auto Ribbon Set is automatically set the ribbon. And using Use Log, you can decide
to record to the log file or not.
68
x 4.2.2.3 Print
Print can be used to print the designed image which made by Smart Design. To print the card, use
and choose csd file. Press Open and select csd file and press Print.
When the printer is NORMAL state, if you press Print, the data is transfer to SMART printer and print.
However in SBS mode, if press Print, the data is transfer to SMART printer and waiting the printing
command. So in SBS mode, it need to press Do Print for the printing. This function is needed to control
the printer in detail.
69
x 4.2.2.4 Allocation
Allocation is used to test the encoding and decoding continually. Set the repeat no. and if press Batch
Start it repeat the test. In this case if Include Card In/Out section is marked, the card in/out operation is
also proceed. However if it is not checked, use one card contiunally..
In Strategy, if the retry is not checked, the encoding is placed only one time and it is checked, it is repeat
as set when there is an error. If Prompt on Error is checked, the pop up message will be displayed when
there is an error. And if it is not checked, the test is proceeding after an error is counting.
Error is the error number for each encoding.
70
x 4.2.2.5 State
State is to check the printer state. If press Get Temperature, it display the thermal heads temperature.
In this case if check realtime check, the temperature is checked on time.
Get Status is to check the printers state. It show the ribbon balance, printer condition and error state. If
check realtime, on time checking.

x 4.2.2.6 Message
It show the communication detail between CardPrinter Test program and SMART Printer so you can
check what kind of command is doing now.
72
4.2.3 Encoding
Magnetic encoding is to test the magnetic stripe card when choose Magnetic tap as below.
73
In Magnetic tap, you can do the read/write of the magnetic stripe card.
Read is the reading of the magnetic stripe card and show the date. In fact Read is consist of Do Read
and Read All Buffer but operated at one time. Do Read is read the magnetic data in the printer inside.
Read All Buffer is bring the data to PC. So Read is same as Do Read and Read All Buffer. Only
checked track can be concerned.
Write is the writing of the magnetic stripe card and record the date. Write is also consist of Write All
Buffer and Do Write. Write All Buffer is send the encoding date to the printer, Do Write is recording
the data to the magnetic card. You can choose Lo Co/Hi Co as its card type. Random Fill is inputting
the random date to test.
If you want to operate the magnetic stripe read/write in step by step, refer to the follow procedure.
Card IN Move Mag Magnetic Random Fill Magnetic Write Magnetic Read Card
OUT
Choose the encoding tap as Magnetic, if press Batch Start, it will be repeat above procedure.
74
x 4.2.3.2 Contact SMART Card

Contact SmartCard encoding is enable to encode the date to SmartCard when you choose the IC tap.
75
In IC tap, the read/write of SmartCard is possible.

ICH Contact is the command to contact the head with SmartCard chip. ICH Disconntact is the discontact command. Init is the initialization of the installed IC reader. The installed IC reader will be
displayed on right down control board. Contact is contacting between the IC head and SmartCard.
Reset is stop to use.
After Contact, Get ATR, Read, Write and Clear command are possible to operate. Get ATR is
loading ATR value of SmartCard. Read is reading such as name, address, phone data. Write is writing.
If read/write the date directly using APDU command, you can use the following APDU command. Load
APDU is load the saved APDU command. Save APDU is save the current APDU command. Clear
APDU is clear the APDU screen. To see the individual APDU command, press Send APDU on the line..
To write and read on SmartCard, you have to proceed the following procedure.
Card IN Move IC IC ICH Contact IC Init IC Contact IC Write IC Clear IC
Read IC Reset IC ICH Dis-contact Card OUT
If press Batch Start, IC encoding will be repeated. SMART Printer is support the internal SmartCard
encoder and external SIM encoder. SIM is not possible to move automatically so the batch is not possible
for SIM.
76
x 4.2.3.3 Contactless SMART Card

Contactless SmartCard encoding is enable to read/write to Contactless SmartCard.
77
In RF tap, Contactless SmartCard encoding is possible. SMART Printer have two RF encoder such as the
internal and external. The internal type is encoded in the inside of printer and external is placed its
encoding on the printer top side. So the batch is only possible for the internal type.
Port is the COM port which connected with RF reader. It should be set after you check it on the
windows control board. Card Type is for setting the RF card type. Gain, Threshold are the antenna
setting value. Use as it is. Get/Set is load or save the setting value of port, gain, threshold.
Contact is the command to contact with Contactless SmartCard. Disconnect is disconnecting
command. And Read is reading the data. Write is writing command.
To proceed the RF encoding, you have to follow the below procedure.
Card IN Move RF RF Connect RF Write RF Read RF Discontact Card OUT
If press Batch Start, above procedure will be repeated automatically. Batch is only for the internal type.
