Note
titleEvolis Quantum 2

Evolis Quantum 2 is only supported with Nexus Card SDK 6.1 and later.


Note
titleEncoding

Some printers have integrated encoding units from the manufacturer. For specific encoding options with those integrated readers, refer to the manufacturer site.

If possible, Nexus can exchange the encoder in the printer to fulfill a different need for encoding. This needs to be handled separately.

The table above only provides an indication regarding which integration that is possible, this is not necessarily the case with printers directly ordered from the manufacturer.


Note
titleDriver support

Printers marked with a (*) use a JVC driver (based on the DNP CX-D80 OEM/H printer) that is no longer valid in terms of signing. The driver might still work, but the signature of the driver is deprecated. This will block the enabling of the WIN11 Memory Integration Feature.

This is a well know issue and needs to be handled by the driver provider/printer manufacturer. Nexus cannot fix this issue. Those printers will still be listed as supported, since the driver was and is still working. But those drivers are not suitable for high security environments.
