Hiti CS‑200 Smart Card Encoding Module

Hiti CS‑200 Smart Card Encoding Module: Product Introduction

The Hiti CS‑200 Smart Card Encoding Module is an optional hardware accessory designed to add contact smart chip programming capabilities to Hiti CS‑200 series card printers. When installed, this module enables your system not only to print high‑quality ID and access cards but also to encode secure data directly onto contact smart cards during the issuance process.

What This Module Does

The Smart Card Encoding Module equips the Hiti printer with the ability to communicate with and program contact smart IC chips inside cards. This means the printer becomes a hybrid card issuance station, capable of producing cards that carry both printed visuals (such as names, photos, and barcodes) and machine‑readable encoded data used for secure applications in enterprise, government, or educational environments.

Core Capabilities

• Contact Smart Card Encoding: Program data on contact chip cards compliant with standard smart card protocols (ISO 7816‑2/PC/SC).

• Integrated Workflow: Printing and encoding can be linked in one workflow, reducing handling and improving throughput.

• Modular Addition: Designed as an add‑on that installs easily into the CS‑200 series hardware without requiring major system changes.

• Versatile Deployment: Ideal for identity credentials, access control badges, secure employee IDs, campus cards, loyalty and membership cards requiring embedded smart logic.

Key Benefits

• Security Enhanced: Enables on‑card storage of encrypted or unique identifiers, enhancing card security compared to printed information alone.

• Efficient Card Issuance: Combines printing and chip encoding in one machine, helping organizations save time and simplify workflows.

• Supports Standard Protocols: Works with widely accepted smart card standards, ensuring compatibility with most chip‑based systems.

• Scalable: As part of Hiti’s modular ecosystem, it can be paired with other optional modules (such as contactless/RFID or magnetic stripe encoding) to meet evolving needs.

Typical Use Cases

• Enterprise Access Badges: Encode employee credentials directly at the point of issuance.

• Government IDs: Program secure smart IDs for controlled access and authentication.

• University and Campus Cards: Issue multi‑purpose cards for student identity, access, and payments.

• Healthcare and Membership Programs: Encode sensitive patient or member data directly on the card.

Overview

The Hiti CS‑200 Smart Card Encoding Module turns a standard card printer into a professional smart card issuance system by combining print and encode functions in one seamless operation. Its modular design, broad application range, and compatibility with standardized contact smart cards make it an effective choice for organizations aiming to elevate their credentialing and secure card‑based workflows.
