The Evolis Card Printers have an internal programming language.
The command syntax is defined as follow:
(Start Character) Command (Stop Character)
The commands can get parameters and can be finished by a character string or data.
Each element of the command must be separated by a separator character:
(Start Character) Command (separator) parameter 1 (separator) parameter 2 (separator) ...parameter n (Stop Character)
Start Character: ESC
Separator: ;
Stop Character: CR
Note: the Start Character is not compulsory after the CR character.

Follow you will find the recommend way to use the escape command describe on this manual.
before to use escape command the programmer have to choice the correct error recovery functionality:
1- printer is the master (default configuration)
- In case of error the printer stuck the communication to the host
- printer wait for user intervention
- As soon as the printer detect user intervention (example, ribbon replacement, new card on feeder...) the printer restart the defective card until the locked point.
- Unlock the host communication to continue the process
On that case the printer manage everything
2- Host is the master
- In case of error the printer will return to the host the error code
- host have to decide the process to follow.
On that case the host could control everything, but have to check command per command the printer status to stop and take a decisions at the first error occurrence.

In order to optimize the downloading time, Evolis has added a new transmission mode with compression of the data.
Compression of the YMC Panels.
The (MSB) bit of each byte is reserved for the interpretation of a counter or not.
Bit8 at zero
Writing 1 point Y, M or C.
0 | Value on 5,6 or 7 bits |
Bit8 at one
Writing counter point Y,M or C.
In 7 bits (128 levels) counter max= 255
1 | Value to be repeated x counter times |
| Counter |
In 6 bits (64 levels) counter max= 256+255
1 | If 1 ctp+256 | Value to be repeated x counter times |
| Counter |
In 5 bits (32 levels) counter max= 256+256+255
1 | If 1 ctp+256 | If 1 ctp+256 | Value to be repeated x counter times |
| Counter |
Writing of a white line for Y,M or C
1 | Counter = 0 |
| 0x 00 |
Compression of K and O.
The compression is done line per line.
If the first byte describing a line is equal to 0, it means that the line is white.
If the first byte describing a line is equal to 255, it means that the line is black.
If the line is not white and not black, the first byte indicates the number of byte(s) useful of the line.
This counter is followed by the useful bytes. The counter corresponds to the index of the last byte of the line.
Byte equal to 0. White line
0x00 |
Byte equal to 255. Black line
0xFF |
Byte with value between 1 & 81. Indicates the number of useful bytes of the line.

All the monochrome object (text, barcode, BMP image …….) will be place by default using the same reference, the bottom left point of the object. The size if necessary will be the number of line for the width and the number of dot for the height.
The reference or writing option of the object could be change in function of the application. These options will run as follow:
3-1 Rotation
3-2 Justification
Some monochrome object like barcode, text, logo could be place with justification in that case the position reference will change.
3-3 Writing mode
Some monochrome object like text, logo could be write on bitmap in two way standard mode (the body of the text or other will be in black ) and reverse mode, all dots will be write in bitmap with reverse color.
After power on the printer will be set by default with the following value:
All bitmap erased
[ESC]Pwb;k[CR] Bitmap destination (monochrome)
[ESC]Pwr;0[CR] Rotation 0°
[ESC]Pwj;l[CR] Left justification
[ESC]Pwm;s[CR] Standard write mode
The process is sequential so as soon as you send an option commands all the following command will be write on bitmap using the option.
It’s important when the card is printed and you want to make a new design to first erase the bitmap and to send if necessary the correct option.
Example:
The user will use all default setting except the rotation command. To be sure to write all the differents card with correct rotation of text he must use a sequence as follow
[ESC)Wcb;k[CR] erase monochrome bitmap
[ESC)Pr;0[CR] rotation to 0 to be sure the second card will be print at he first one
[ESC)Wt;300;300;0;50;Text1[CR] write text
[ESC)Pr;90[CR] rotation command
[ESC)Wt;100;100;0;50;Text2[CR] write text with rotation 90°

Interface specification
Protocol: 10BASE-T/100BASE-T
Speed: 10Mbit/s and 100Mbit/s auto detection
Connection: Auto-MDX
LED: GREEN OFF for 10Mbit/s, ON for 100Mbit/s
ORANGE ON for good link, BLINK for acitvity
Full duplex
Protocols
TCP/IP
IPV4 Compatible
IP address sets manually or dynamically via a DHCP server.
Printing using TCP port 9100 in raw mode.
Name authentification using NBNS (NetBiosNameServer). Hostname is automatically sets to EVO_NNN_XXXXXXX, where EVO is for Evolis, NNN depends of the printer model (SE1 for Securion, PB4 for Pebble 4, DU3 for Dualys 3) then XXXXXXX is the production counter from printer s/n. EVO_SE1_0001234 for s/n Z710001234.
NBNS over TCP (WINS) name registration, to let the WINS server know about the printer (not done if the server is not set).
In case static IP (no DHCP), then the gateway, the subnet mask and the wins server can be set manually (using web server or escape command), but when using DHCP all those parameters are sent by the DHCP server.
MAC address
Automatically generated from printer serial number with the Evolis‘s OUI: 00-1A-FD then last 3 Bytes will be coded from serial number which correspond to printer production counter.
For example: 00-1A-FD-00-04-D2 as MAC address for printer s/n P71001234 (actual s/n) or for s/n P07100001234 (new serial number). 1234 in decimal gives 0x04D2 in hexadecimal.

1- Smart contact Station
The Pebble,Dualys or Quantum are fitted with a DB-9 female connector on the back of the printer. This connector, directly connected to the Contact Station inside the printer, is also connected to an external coupler to program the chip.
A sequence of commands must be sent via the interface of the printer to insert a card in the printer and then place it under the Station to establish contact
The command sequence is the following:
Sending the “Sis” sequence
2- Contactless option
Hardware connection
The computer will control both printer and encoding unit from a single application. So there will be two links :
A sequence of commands must be sent via the interface of the printer to insert a card in the printer and then place it under the contacless antenna.
The command sequence is the following:
Sending the “Sic” sequence
Software programming
Application software for contactless encoding is usually a dedicated one, designed to suit the customer needs: Data Model, Data Access and Security.
It can be programmed in different languages such as C, C++, Visual Basic.
Each 3rd party supplier makes programming toolkits available, for various platforms and programming languages.
Pay attention to the fact that those SDK (Software Development Kit) have to be ordered directly to the Contactless Encoding Unit supplier.
Some basic SDK are available over Internet, free of charge.

Tattoo rewrite functionalities
The rewrite printer was defined on the tattoo base. You will find on the tattoo rewrite the same general escape command and philosophy (direct graphic command, sequence,…...)
As the tattoo rewrite don’t manage ribbon, the [ESC]Pr;…[CR] command is not implemented and replace by the command [ESC]Prw;….[CR] to define the source of the card use.
To erase and write we need two different bitmaps
The data write on monochrome bitmap is printed on the card only if the superposed erase area is defined on the overlay bitmap.
At power on, the monochrome bitmap is erasing and the overlay bitmap is completely filled. If no data is download on the overlay bitmap, in that case the card will be always completely erase and write in function of the data write on the monochrome bitmap.
The Evolis drivers proposed some options with special erase area or link a BMP file to define precisely the erase area.
When the overlay bitmap is completely erase the printer will write the full monochrome bitmap without erase the previous data printed on the card.
All the standard Tattoo commands using the k parameter are link to the write function (same as Tattoo or Pebble).
[ESC]Pc;k;=;10[CR] Define the write contrast
[ESC]Ps;k;=;10[CR] Define the printing speed
[ESC]Wcb;k[CR] Erase the monochrome bitmap monochrome
[ESC]Sp;k[CR] Print and erase the card
[ESC]Pwb;k[CR] Defined the monochrome bitmap as destination for graphics commands (text, barcode, line ….)
For the erase definition area the overlay bitmap is used with the o parameter
[ESC]Wcb;o[CR] Erase overlay bitmap
[ESC]Wcb;o;255[CR] Fill overlay bitmap
[ESC]Pwb;o[CR] Defined the overlay bitmap as destination for graphics commands (text, barcode, line ….)
Some additional commands useful for rewritable function compare to standard tattoo functionality are implement (see manual for more detail).
[ESC]Pc;e;=;var[CR] Erase energy comand
[ESC]Prw ;par[CR] Rewritable card definition
[ESC]Sp;e[CR] Direct erase card command

LAMINATION
The process called card lamination is the application of a protective polyester film onto a card’s surface to protect it from wear and tear and UV rays, and to fight forgery.
In general, this action is performed in two steps by the machine: first, it prints, and then applies the film. The varnish or film is applied at a very high temperature. This temperature is out of reach of a traditional print heads, and therefore, requires special equipment: a laminator.
Laminators feature hot rollers that provide temperatures in the 280-375° F (140–190° C) range. With such temperatures, laminators actually ”stick” the lamination material onto the PVC card.
The different types of lamination material generally fall into two main categories:
Both materials can be translucent (protection against UV radiation) or with holograms (protection against UV radiation and forgeries).
A patch film offers identical patches or alternate patches (for dual-sided lamination). Multiple design layouts can be combined to match different requirements:
The varnish film, similar to a monochrome ribbon, is continuous, and does not require adjustment or positioning.
Card lamination with Evolis
Securion stands as the ideal solution to personalize and laminate secure badges. This compact printer offers dual-sided printing and lamination, as well as advanced encoding options.

ETHERNET CONFIGURATION.
Abstract
This document explains how to configure the printer Ethernet interface when working with sub-network. Three different topologies are described here:
1 - Printer on a sub-network using DHCP server on another sub-network
2 - Printer on a sub-network with a fix IP address and a WINS server
3 - Printer on a sub-network with a fix IP address without WINS server
The printer driver uses 2 different methods to dialog with the printer:
1 - Using NETBIOS name (previous version of driver was only using this method).
2 - Using direct IP address
When working with sub-network without WINS server, the NETBIOS name method is not appropriate because the name resolution is not working through sub-network.
Description
Below are the snap shots that show the configuration for these different topologies using embedded web server.
Note that the printer Ethernet port configuration can be done through USB interface using escape commands (see Ethernet escape commands at the end of the document).

1 - Printer Ethernet interface setting when using printer on a sub-network with a DHCP server on another sub-network.
Printer Ethernet interface is set in DHCP mode, DHCP server set the printer’s IP, subnet mask, Gateway and WINS server.
Printer Ethernet port installation for this topology (See Driver Ethernet port installation for more details). Select “Search by printer’s hostname” j, select Printer model k, enter printer’s serial number l, then start search m. Once found the printer appears on the list then double click on it to select it n, and finally add it with “Add port button” o.
Each job sent to the printer will first do a hostname search on the network.
2 - Printer Ethernet interface setting when using printer on a sub-network without DHCP server but with WINS server on another sub-network.
Printer IP address is set manually (DHCP disable), subnet mask, gateway and wins server has to be set manually.
The Printer Ethernet port installation is the same as the one describes above, as a WINS server is used.
3 - Printer Ethernet interface setting when using printer on a sub-network without DHCP server and without WINS Server.
Printer IP address is set manually (DHCP disable) as subnet mask and gateway. The WINS server IP address is set to 0 has it does not exist.
Printer Ethernet port installation for this topology. Select “Search by IP address”j, select network interfacek, enter IP address range for the searchl, then start searchm. Once found the printer appears on the list then double click on it to select itn, and finally add it with “Add port button”o.
Each job sent to the printer will be sent directly to IP address (no hostname search).

Custom magnetic encoding Note2
These options are available from the firmware version 0522
Please find below the commands for custom encoding format with an example (using the driver)
1. Firmware command to write magnetic encoding with specific data
1.1. Command to set the magnetic mode
(ESC)Pmt;par1;par2;opt1;opt2(CR)
With par1 : 1 for track 1
2 for track 2
3 for track 3
With par2: 1 for ISO1 format
2 for ISO2 format
3 for ISO3 format
c1 for custom1 SIPASS format
c2 for custom2 free data (default density 210)
With Opt1 and Opt2 optional parameter useful for custom2 mode only free data
Opt1 s for standard format (the bit 0 will be the last encoded bit for a
character)
r for reverse format ( the bit 0 will be the first encoded bit for a
character)
Default setting: s
Opt2 4 to 8 number of useful bit per data
For each character, send 2 characters that represent the hexa value.
the printer will use the number of bit required.
Default setting 8 bits
When you read data from the printer using the command
(ESC)Smr;track(CR), the printer will return the data in the same
format.
Note: In custom2 mode in function of the data you would like to read, it’s possible you will
have to remove the reading filter (See point 5 on command Pmf for more details)
From the driver, you will be not able to set custom 2 mode. you have to send some escape commands (describe below) in using the direct command box.
The printer will keep this information on the no volatile area.
1.2. Command to read the magnetic mode
(ESC)Rmt;par1(CR)
With par1 : 1 for track 1
2 for track 2
3 for track 3
Following this command the printer will send back the current setting of the track requested
1.3. Command to define the start coding and the number of 0 bit before the data
(ESC)Pmts;par1;par2;option1(CR)
With par1 : 1 for track 1
2 for track 2
3 for track 3
With par2: After synchronization of card, number of step motor before to write
the first bit on the track (By default 24 2mm)
With option1: Number of 0 bit write before the data downloaded
By default we follow the ISO norm (so 7mm )
24 for 75BPI
64 for 210BPI
The minimum length of 0 bit acceptable by the printer is 5mm, so 18 for 75BPI and 44 for 210 BPI
1.4. Download sequence with custom2 mode
We will use the standard download command, already use by the driver (Dm;track;data).
The change will be on the format of the data. As we want to encode any character from 0 to 255, we will divide each character by two and send the asccii character of each part:
For example :
The character 0x00 will become the two characters 0x30 (Ascii 0) and 0x30 (Ascii 0)
The character 0x4A will become the two characters 0x34 (Ascii 4) and 0x41 (Ascii A)
You can find these commands inside the programming manual
2.1. Set the coecivity of the encoder
(ESC)Pmc;par1(CR)
With par1: H for high coercivity
L for low coercivity
(ESC)Pmd;par1;par2;opt(CR)
With par1 : 1 for track 1
2 for track 2
3 for track 3
With par2: 210 for 210 BPI
75 for 75BPI
custom value (if opt is used)
With opt: custom value
151 for 120BPI
2.3. Print the magnetic setting
At any moment you can send the command following:
Stt;m sequence technical test magnetic
Then the printer will print a card with all the magnetic setting
3. Example of how to use the custom mode with standard Evolis driver (default 8 bits format)
You have to define the custom mode and the number of 0 bit you want to encode on each track.
You have to follow the steps described below . When it will be done, these information will be saved in the no volatile area of the printer.
Use the direct command windows from the driver and send the following command:
Pmc;h Set the density to high co, parameter ‘l’ for low co
Pmt;1;c2 Set the track 1 with custom mode
Pmt;2;c2 Set the track 2 with custom mode
Pmt;3;c2 Set the track 3 with custom mode
Pmd;1;210 Set the track1 with 210 BPI, parameter ‘75’ for 75 BPI
Pmd;2;210 Set the track2 with 210 BPI
Pmd;2;210 Set the track2 with 210 BPI
After setting the custom mode the first bit and the number of zero bit before the data follow the ISO standard (7mm). If you want to change these parameters please use the following command:
Pmts;1;24;64 Set the track1 with 24 dots before to write and 64 starting bits (7 mm)
3.2. Download the custom data trough the driver
For example you want to encode the following string on the track 1:
0x80 0x1A 0xFF 0x00 0x2B 0x01
On your application you will write the following sequence:
4. Same Example of use the custom mode with a standard Evolis driver but using 4 to 7 bit format in standard and reverse mode
You can encode exactly the same string on the different mode :
Example: 4 bits standard mode
(ESC)Pmt;1;c2;s;4(CR)
From your application, you have to write |10800010A0F0F0000020B0001|
Example: 4 bits reverse mode
(ESC)Pmt;1;c2;r;4(CR)
From your application, you have to write |1010008050F0F0000040D0008|
Example: 5 bits standard mode
(ESC)Pmt;1;c2;s;5(CR)
From your application, you have to write |110000D0F1E00010B0004|
Example: 5 bits reverse mode
(ESC)Pmt;1;c2;r;5(CR)
From your application, you have to write |10100161E0F00101A0004|
Example: 6 bits standard mode
(ESC)Pmt;1;c2;s;6(CR)
From your application, you have to write |120012B3F00022C01|
Example: 6 bits reverse mode
(ESC)Pmt;1;c2;r;6(CR)
From your application, you have to write |10120353F00100D20|
Example: 7 bits standard mode
(ESC)Pmt;1;c2;s;7(CR)
From your application, you have to write |140065F70012C02|
Example: 7 bits reverse mode
(ESC)Pmt;1;c2;r;7(CR)
From your application, you have to write |101307D07401A20|
Example: 8 bits standard mode
(ESC)Pmt;1;c2;s;8(CR)
From your application, you have to write |1801AFF002B01|
Example: 8 bits reverse mode
(ESC)Pmt;1;c2;r;8(CR)
From your application, you have to write |10158FF00D480|
5. Additional command for magnetic setting
You can find these commands in the programming manual
5.1. Set the magnetic filter on write mode and read mode
(ESC)Pmf;par1;par2(CR)
With par1: ON (default ) enable the filter on start character and stop character
for ISO data. If thiere are detected on the data string the printer
don’t add start and stop character
OFF disable the filter. start or stop character could be duplicate
in the data string.
With par2: ON (default ) active the filter on read process, during the reading
process the printer stop to analyse the string as soon as we
detect 16 following bits equal to 0
OFF disable the reading filter. All the data on the magnetic stripe
will be send back
(ESC)Rmf(CR) Command to read the current printer setting.
5.2. Set the number of writing and read repetition in error case
(ESC)Pmlr;par1;par2(CR)
With par1: Number of reading process after a writing sequence to check the data
Default 3
With par2: Number of writing process on the same card before returning an error
Default 1
