viewing window, and uses a highly reliable, field-proven print engine.

• Driver’s Licenses and Government ID’s

Laminating cards considerably increases card life, card durability, and prevents counterfeiting, alteration, or fraudulent duplication of cards. Lamination can extend card life by 2 to 7 years compared to non-laminated cards under similar conditions.

Factors such as dye migration, UV fading, damage and abrasion from frequently swiped magnetic cards, shorten their useful life. Lamination decreases the effects of these wear factors tremendously. Laminate with holograms also deters fraudulent reproduction, alteration and duplication of cards. Various types of standard and custom hologram laminates are available.

A user-friendly LCD display indicates unit status, settings and maintenance functions. Control buttons allow quick, easy access to menu options. The card feeder cover can be opened during operation to reload cards for continuous production.

The P720 also features bi-directional driver communication, automatic laminate ribbon detection, print ribbon synchronization, a patented in-line cleaning cartridge, optional magnetic encoding and/or Smart
Card contact station, a reject hopper, and both Centronics and USB interfaces. Windows® drivers compatible with Windows NT, ME, 95/98 and 2000 provide convenient plug and play operation.
