This article describes which encoding methods are supported by Nexus Card SDK.
The following ID card encoding methods are supported:
RFID:
- LEGIC (prime, advant)
- LEGIC Hybrid + CTC (prime+advant)
- MIFARE Classic (1K, 4K)
- MIFARE DESFire EV1 (optionally with SAM AV1/AV2)
- MIFARE DESFire EV2 (optionally with SAM AV3)
MIFARE DESFire EV3 (optionally with SAM AV3)
MIFARE DESFire EV3C (optionally with SAM AV3)
- HITAG 1/2/S
- Proxif
- HID Prox (read only)
- EM (read only)
- UHF EPC Gen2
- iCode SLI
Others:
- Magnetic Stripes (all ISO tracks)
- NFC Mobile phone with a suitable RFID applet
Integrated encoding of contact chips, LEGIC, MIFARE, and magnetic stripes is possible for a variety of ID card printers. See Supported card printers in Card SDK.
Generally, a maximum of 1 RFID encoding position is available inside the card printer. Exception: The FARGO HDP5000 has (with the “Duplex” option) 2 RFID encoding positions. At each position, one of the following encoding devices can be used (if enough space for mounting the device or antenna is available):
RFID combinations with FARGO HDP5000 Duplex:
