D310 & D420 Large Capacity Card Feeder/Hopper Kiosk Mounting Kits

The D310 & D420 large capacity card feeders have been developed for use with the Eltron P310 & P420 series of plastic card printers for applications where the standard card feeder capacity is not sufficient. The feeders are available in kit form designed to allow retro fit to any P310 or P420 printer or as a complete, ready built printer/feeder package.

The feeder kit consists of all parts, cables and instructions to allow a printer to be quickly and easily upgraded. The standard printer cover and card feeder must be removed and a new feeder base/support plate and printer cover fitted. A new wiring loom takes power from the printer’s main PCB to drive the feeder which is still controlled by the standard Eltron Windows driver for ease of integration.

The complete printer assemblies are supplied as a P310 monochrome, P310 colour or P420 colour printer complete with the 200 or 400 card feeder unit. Options on these units include a 3 track Hi/Lo-Co switchable magnetic encoder and Smart Card contacts.

For applications where the printer is being used inside a kiosk, we offer a set of full extension runners that allow the printer to be easily withdrawn from the kiosk for maintenance and consumable changes. The runners can be mounted to allow access from either the front or rear of the kiosk.

In addition to the standard "Out Of Cards" status returned to the host PC by the Windows driver, the feeder unit also has an adjustable "Card Low" status which can be monitored via a separate RS232C port. The card low level can be adjusted between 10 and 50 cards.
