T2000PROisanautomaticsystemforplasticcards
designed to encode the barcode and print
thermographicimages.
T2000 PRO, thanks to the MSPTM system (Multi Smart
Processing), is able to process 4 different cards
simultaneously.
The CIMTHERM module stores all the necessary
information on a Flash memory, it is to say a memory
which can be written without an external programming
device.
3
This allows to store the encoding (machine FW) and
resident data (logos, fonts) directly on the card via a
serialcommunication.
The T2000 PRO machine works connected to a PC
which sends the personalization data using the serial
CIM protocol CHIP 10.
The machine is equipped with an upper cover (2) with
locking key, a push-to-open discharge unit (1) and front
panel (3). To open the front panel (3) it is necessary to
open the upper cover (2) first, then press where
indicated by the label. To close it again, push until it
engages.

1.2 PRODUCTION CYCLE
The T1000 PRO production cycle can be divided up into
the following phases.
1.
CARD LOAD: The card is taken and moved to the
encoding unit.
2.
MAGNETIC ENCODING AND CHIP (OPTIONAL):
The card is encoded and read in only 2 steps on the 3
tracks in LO-CO (low coercivity) or HI-CO (high
coercivity) according to ISO 7811.
3.
CLEANING STATION: This station automatically
cleans the card cleaning roller.
4.
THERMOGRAPHIC UNIT 1: It prints black and white
or colour images and text on the front of the card.
5.
FLIP-OVER (optional): It rotates the card for
thermographicprinting on both sides.
6.
THERMOGRAPHIC UNIT 2: It prints black and white
or colour images and text on both sides of the card-
7.
UNLOADING: The card is stacked in the unloading
tray or passed on to the next PRO machine. If any error
occurs during the production phase, the card is
discarded in the negative unloading tray and the
machine stops indicating the error.

1.3 LOADING AND ENCODING UNIT
1
Theloadingunit(1)allowsto storevertically200 cards
0,76 mm thick. The card at the bottom of the pile is
picked up and moved to the working units. The bar code
encoding function can be integrated in the unit, in
accordance with the standards ISO and JIS (Japan). It
is possible to place here the chip contactor which allows
to read and write “contact” cards which comply with the
ISO 7816 standard.
In the thermographic machines, it is possible to use
cards up to 0.40 mm thick by assembling the loading
tooth with a lower ridge supplied with the machine.
1.4 FLIP-OVER
1
The FLIP-OVER (1) is a device which enables a card
rotation of 180°, used if thermographic printing is
desired on both sides of the card.
The FLIP-OVER (1) assumes 2 positions, depending
upon the work to curry out on the cards. At the
beginning of the production, it is necessary to control
that the FLIP-OVER (1) is positioned as shown in
picture 1.4.
This precaution assures a correct functioning of the
device and the correct card alignment during the
passage phase from the FLIP-OVER (1) to the
thermographic printer. The machine reset (activated via
software or via the reset button) automatically positions
the unit.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL PRO SERIES
1.5 CLEANING UNIT
The cleaning module (1) is an automatic system which
uses a special adhesive tape to collect the dust from the
card cleaning roller. in the machine set-up, the operator
sets the number of cards (0-999) after which the
cleaning module will activate.
1
1.6 THERMOGRAPHIC PRINTER
The thermographic printer (1) carries out the printing for
the thermic transfer of a logo or of a monochromatic or a
coloured image with a 300 DPI resolution.
In case of monochromatic printing, a ribbon of the
desired colour is used and the printing is carried out in a
singlepassage.
In case of printing a coloured image, the thermographic
printer uses a special ribbon composed of 3
fundamental colours: yellow - magenta - cyan, followed
1
by black and transrlrent (overlay). The printing is
obtained by overlapping in 5 passages.
ATTENTION! THE PRINTING HEAD IS A CUSTOM
CIM UNIT. ONLY USE ORIGINAL HEADS. IF YOU
USE HEADS WHICH ARE NOT ORIGINAL YOU MAY
DAMAGE THE MODULE LOGIC CARDS EVEN
THOUGH THE HEADS MIGHT BE SIMILAR.

1.7 UNLOADING UNIT
The unloading unit (3), with removable cover (1), allows
to extract the cards.
The cards successfully produced are stored in the upper
part (2) of the unit, while the defective ones are placed
in the lower part (4).
The moving guide allows to store the cards without
1
jamming. To function correctly, it must always be put in
position “fully forward”. On the contrary, the alarm
“unloading not ready” would be generated.
The unloading unit is equipped with sensors which
2
detect if it is full or empty (negative and positive
unloader), generating the respective alarms.
