Security

The P640i has a unique range of security options, allowing institutions to build the appropriate level of security for their application. These security features include customizable holograms and other covert features within the laminate as well as a variety of encoding options. Magnetic encoding and contact smart card encoding are available as factory-installed options. With these options, users can encode magnetic stripes and encode/read ISO 7816 contact smart chips (the most common contact smart card standard).

An optional ID/key prevents unauthorized printing and an ID/Log driver builds a customizable record of card transactions in the printer’s host computer to prevent someone from accessing the database to create fraudulent cards.

With the introduction of the P640i printer, two new options are being introduced for the P640i and the P640i: an integrated linear bar code scanner and a smartcard contact station. The linear bar code scanner can be used to read unique bar codes that are pre-printed on blank card stock, allowing for the closed-loop tracking of individual cards. The contact station offers the flexibility of using proprietary external smartcard contact encoders or readers through a 9-pin connector at the back of the printer. Both of these options allow for higher levels of security features in issued cards.

Innovative Design and Options

The Zebra P640i incorporates a second-generation mechanical and electronics design with a redesigned chassis that uses fewer parts yet ensures proper alignment during the printing process. Flexible features and multiple options for printer, ribbons, laminate and cards provide high card issuance security for the entire card printing process.

Advanced Connectivity

In addition to the USB interface included in all configurations of the P640i, Zebra also offers built-in Ethernet connectivity as a factory-installed option, allowing remote printing and remote encoding. Based on a 10Base-T/100Base-TX design, the printer can be administered remotely from any location within a network, shared among different users and configured with other P640i printers to form pools of printers for high-volume printing.

Zebra i Series Windows drivers work with the most popular versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Access Control

When you use Zebra card printers to create your ID cards, authorized users can access your security system right away. Almost any organization, not just those with inherent security concerns, can benefit from a physical access control system today. Zebra card printers work with a variety of card-based access credentials, including proximity, magnetic stripe, and smart cards. RFID technology makes printing easy while taking security a step further, ensuring that only authorized individuals are able to print identification cards. When your application calls for physical access control, trust Zebra card printers to create your card-based security.
