The form printing operation can often occur at a faster rate than the card personalization operation, which means that the forms will not be completed at the same time as the card(s) to be attached thereto.
Each printed form is then matched with the corresponding plastic card(s) for the customer downstream of the printer. Each printed form contains, for example, personal information thereon related to a particular customer. The printed forms are typically produced in a high speed printer. An example of a modular card processing system is the Maxsys system and the 9000 system, each of which is produced by DataCard Corporation of Minnetonka, Minn.Ĭard processing systems also often include apparatus for producing and processing printed forms or sheets to which the plastic cards are subsequently attached for sending to customers. The modules can be taken out of, or inserted into, the system so that the system can be adapted to the changing needs of the user.
Many of these card processing systems are formed as modular systems composed of a plurality of separate modules, each of which is designed to perform a particular processing function or functions. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONĬard processing systems currently in use include apparatus for performing processing operations on the plastic cards, such as printing, embossing, laminating and the like. More particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus for use in a card processing system in which the apparatus is adapted to handle printed forms to which data bearing plastic cards are eventually attached. The invention relates to card processing systems which process data bearing plastic cards, such as credit cards, driver's licenses, identification cards and the like.
