  • Patent number: 7445151
    Abstract: A card printer includes a housing having a card outlet and a connecting element for connecting to a connecting element of a dust-proof card receiver. The dust-proof card receiver includes an opening. A vertical distance between the opening and the bottom of the housing is approximately the same as a vertical distance between the card outlet and the bottom of the housing. When cards output from the card outlet of the housing accumulate to the height of the opening and the card printer continues to output printed cards, cards subsequently output from the card printer push an upper card inside the dust-proof card receiver out from the opening of the dust-proof card receiver.

  • Patent number: 7334953
    Abstract: A card printer includes a housing, a card inlet and a card outlet. A distance between the card inlet and the bottom of the housing is approximately the same as a distance between the card outlet and the bottom of the housing. When serially connecting two similar card printers, the card outlet of the first printer is positioned corresponding to the card inlet of the second printer. Therefore, a card outputted from the card outlet of the first printer is directly inputted into the card inlet of the second printer thereby simplifying a card printing process and reducing labor.
