Abstract: A contactless plastic-card encoding module (2) mounted on the frame of a plastic-card printer (1), the module comprising: an electronic card (23) that fulfills the function of plastic-card encoding, a hollow support (21) comprising fixations (211) for fixing the support to the frame of the printer, a piece (22) absorbing any reliefs on the electronic card, the piece (22) being positioned at the bottom of the hollow support (21) and receiving the electronic card (23), and a holder (24) for holding the electronic card in position on the piece.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a contactless plastic-card encoding module (2) intended to be mounted on the frame of a plastic-card printer (1), said module comprising an electronic card (23) that fulfils the function of plastic-card encoding, characterised in that it comprises a hollow support (21) comprising means (211) for fixing the support to the frame of the printer, a means made from flexible material (22) intended to be positioned at the bottom of the hollow support (21) and to receive the electronic card (23), and a means (24) for holding the electronic card in position on the means made from a flexible material.

Abstract: A card loader is intended to be fixed to a printer (23), the loader comprising at least one loading device intended to receive at least one card to be printed, and at least one driving device (16; 19). Each driving device (16; 19) makes it possible to transfer cards to be printed from a loading device to the printer (23). At least one driving device (16; 19) is movable to enable the printer (23), or a said loading device, to use, in order to manipulate a card, a space that is occupied by said driving device(s) (16; 19) when said driving device(s) (16; 19) transfer(s) a card to be printed to the printer.
