Description

High-Capacity Card Storage, Personalization and Issuing for Automated Applications

The SNR-CD2604J-P is a multi-hopper card issuing system designed for automated card issuance and card personalization applications.

The system combines 8 independently selectable card hoppers, automatic card dispensing, thermal transfer card printing, magnetic stripe processing, contact IC card processing, contactless RFID processing and card recycling in one integrated unit.

Designed for self-service kiosks and unattended card issuance systems, the TTCE-K2604J-8 can manage multiple card types and process cards through a configurable workflow before issuing the completed card to the user.

A typical workflow can include:

Select Card → Dispense → Print → Encode → Verify → Issue

With high-capacity card storage and multiple card processing technologies integrated into one system, the SNR-CD2604J-P is suitable for projects requiring automated card personalization and multi-card management.

Key Features

8 Independently Selectable Card Hoppers

The system features 8 independent card hoppers, allowing the host system to select the required card source according to the application.

Each hopper supports:

100 cards as standard
Up to 150 cards as an optional configuration

The standard configuration provides a total capacity of up to 800 cards, based on 0.76 mm flat cards.

This makes the system suitable for applications that need to manage different card types, card designs or card programs within one automated terminal.

Integrated Thermal Transfer Card Printing

The SNR-CD2604J-P can integrate a thermal transfer card printer for automated card personalization.

Supported printing functions include:

Single-sided card printing
Image printing
Graphic printing
Text printing
Character printing
Personalized information printing

Optional:

Dual-sided card printing

This allows card information to be printed during the automated issuing process.

Multi-Technology Card Processing

The system can process multiple card technologies within one integrated workflow.

Available card processing functions include:

Magnetic stripe card read/write
Contact IC card processing
Contactless RFID card processing
SAM card processing

This configuration is suitable for applications that require card data to be encoded, written, read or verified before issuance.

Uncollected card management
Returned card collection

Recycle bin capacity:

100 cards as standard
50 cards optional

The recycle bin is enclosed and lockable.

Card Status Monitoring

The system supports multiple status and alarm functions, including:

Low card alarm
Card empty alarm
Hopper position detection
Recycle bin full detection
Recycle bin empty detection
Recycle bin position detection

These functions help the host system monitor card availability and device status during unattended operation.

Power-Failure Card Protection

The SNR-CD2604J-P uses capacitor-based backup power protection.

In the event of a power interruption, the card in the transport path can be moved to a predefined safe position, depending on the configured operating mode.

This can help prevent cards from remaining inside the card transport path after power loss.

RS232 and USB Communication

The system supports:

RS232 communication
USB 2.0 communication

This provides flexible integration options for self-service kiosks and automated card issuing systems.

Typical Card Issuing Workflow

The SNR-CD2604J-P can be integrated into an automated card personalization workflow.

Step 1 — Select Card

The host system selects the required card hopper.

Step 2 — Dispense Card

The selected card is transported into the internal processing path.

Step 3 — Print Card Information

The integrated thermal transfer printer prints the required information, such as images, graphics, text or characters.

Step 4 — Encode Card Data

Depending on the project requirements, the card can be processed through:

Magnetic stripe encoding
Contact IC processing
Contactless RFID processing

Step 5 — Verify Card

The required card data can be read or verified before delivery.

Step 6 — Issue the Completed Card

The completed card is delivered through the card outlet.

If the card needs to be recovered, it can be directed to the recycle bin according to the configured system workflow.
