ABSEC Chip Card Reader

The ABSEC Chip Card Reader Logon DLL returns the card balance and serial number.

Because the card can be removed at any time, a user printing multiple jobs will be required to insert their card for each print job. If the user selects more than one print job after having printed the first print job, the error message “Only one print job is allowed each time” will be displayed. This message will disappear once the user removes their card from the reader.
