This article is valid for Nexus Card SDK 6.0 and later.

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. For more information, see Card SDK requirements and interoperability .

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:

FARGO HDP5000 Duplex

Device at RFID Pos. 1

Device at RFID Pos. 2

Some of the possible encodings within the same production step and with one card body:

FARGO HDP5000 Duplex

Device at RFID Pos. 1

Device at RFID Pos. 2

Some of the possible encodings within the same production step and with one card body:
