Edge Fusion Software Drivers. >>>Smart Card & RFID Encoding Smart cards, a term that includes several types of technology, use a microprocessor within an ID card to send and receive data with the card reader. This ability to both read and write to the card is what sets smart cards apart from any other type of encoding, and they can hold over 100 times more data than a magnetic stripe card. This type of encoding gives you the most flexibility in the amount and type of data you store on the cards, making them ideal for multipurpose ID card programs. Smart card encoding is the most expensive encoding option, but it offers the most storage and security.

Smart card encoding is a feature found in advanced ID card software – if you need to encode these types of cards, look for software upgrade options or professional versions. Types of Smart Cards There are two basic types of smart cards, contact and contactless: • Contact cards have a smart chip embedded in the surface of the card, and it must come into contact with the reader to work • Contactless cards have a chip and antenna system that can wirelessly send the data to the reader once it comes into range Smart cards look like normal ID cards, so you do have the option to print on them to add your business logo or cardholder information. If you do print on the cards however, you should only use a reverse transfer printer – technology cards may have uneven surface that can damage the printhead on other types of printers..
