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 5 different modules (① Input Hopper, ② Printer, ③ Hybrid Flipper, ④
Laminator, ⑤ 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.
11
Flexibility
SMART-70 is designed to organize the combination of SMART-70 by user
requirements and easy to add necessary modules or remove unnecessary modules.
After purchasing and installing SMART-70 Input Hopper and Printer module for
printing, the Laminator can be additionally added when the laminating function is
needed.
Security
For preventing the theft and leakage of cards, ribbons and consumables, physical
locking mechanism and Kensington lock are designed and applied on every module.
For high-level security, authenticated user can only print, encode and laminate cards
by using SMAR-70.
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.
Reasonable Cost
SMART-70 Series enables a Mass card issuance system to be built by the reasonable
cost compared with competitive products. When multi systems built by SMART-70
Series are used, the systems can be substituted for large equipment for card
issuance by reasonable cost.
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.
12
Encoding
SMART-70 can encode the magnetic stripe cards and contact/contactless smart
cards by using the encoding options, images or 1D/2d barcodes on card can be also
read by using image scanner. The magnetic stripe encoder and contactless smart
card encoder can be installed into SMART-70 Printer, and the contact/contactless
smart card encoder and both-side image scanner can be installed into SMART-70
Hybrid Flipper.
Energy Saving
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.
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 cost.

SMART-70 can organize the card issuing system by combining the 5 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.
LED Indicator on the front side of Input Hopper displays the status of Input Hopper
by using the color, so user can intuitionally check the status of Input Hopper
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
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.

2.2.1 Module ID of SMART-70
Each module of SMART-70 has a specific ID to communicate with each other because a system
of SMART-70 is combined by multiple modules. In that case, if a printer is combined in the
system, the printer is a main agent of the communication, and if a printer is not combined in
the system, a laminator is a main agent of the communication.
The main agent of communication should only be a Master. Thus, the first printer should be the
Master and other printers should be the Slave when more than two printers are combined in a
system, and the laminators combined in the system should also be the Salve. The default
setting of SMART-70 Printer is the Master and SMART-70 Laminator is the Slave.
SMART-70 consists of Input Hopper(I), Printer(P), Laminator(L), Hybrid Flipper(H) and Output
Hopper(O). One byte is used for the module ID, the high four bits are for the module type and
the low four bits are for the module number. The module ID is as below.
When more than one same modules are combined in a system of SMART-70, the module ID
should be adjusted for distinguishing each other of the same modules.
For example, in case of IPHPLHLO, the module ID should be adjusted as below because two
printers, two Hybrid Flippers and two laminators are combined in a system of SMART-70.

SMART-70 Printer doesn’t have the DIP switch, the module ID is automatically set to 0x40 when
the Printer is the Master and the module ID is automatically set to 0x41 when the Printer is the
Slave.
The module type M is fixed as Input Hopper = 1 (0b1000), Laminator = 5 (0b1010), Hybrid
Flipper 6 (0b0110) and Output Hopper 7 (0b1110). The module number is able to be adjusted
