Abstract
A system for processing cards including a magnetic medium extending along one side of the cards and printing on both sides of the cards is disclosed. The system is a plurality of card processing stations () spaced along a card transport (') extending between a card inputand a card output. A first drive motor () drives a transmission () coupling the motor to a card drive associated with each station to transport the cards at each station during processing thereof. A second drive motorrotates a combined magnetic encoding and card flipping station. A controllercontrols operation of the stations and the first and second motors so that the combined magnetic encoding and flipping station flips the cards to a reverse orientation to print a second side.
