The printer must produce a color digitized image of the applicant and a gray scale signature from an
electronic source, in such a manner as to provide for a non-embossed, finished, color DL/ID card.
The printer must be able to:
1. Print different formats for DL and ID cards.
2. Print text, portrait image, bar code and organ donor and power of attorney icons on the face of
the card.
3. Apply a security overlay on the face and back of the card after printing.
4. Print text and two-dimensional bar code on the back of the card.
5. Encode three tracks on the magnetic stripe.
6. Produce a portrait of the applicant of not less than 1 ⅛” width and 1 ¼” in height.
7. Produce a card with laminate/coating not to exceed 3 ⅛” wide and 2 ⅛” high. The thickness of
the finished license with laminate/coating must meet credit industry standard of .30 (+ or - .003).
Corners of the DL/ID cards must be rounded with a radius of .125. Must be in conformance with
ISO/IEC7810 ID-1.
8. Provide a completed card within the printer with no human intervention required.
9. Not involve any external die cutting.
10. Maintain print and card durability for a minimum of four years based on and compliant with ANSI
NCITS322 test data.
11. Printer noise level must not exceed 75 decibels.
12. The printer and all associated electrical equipment must be designed and built in such a manner
that a voltage fluctuation of a low of 90 volts and a high of 130 volts AC will not affect
performance. The equipment must operate on a regular 110 volts, 60 cycle AC; be equipped with
a grounded plug; and meet Underwriter Laboratory Standards.
Printer Quantity. A total of 298 printers must be proposed as a part of the solution. The 2 CSC, 63
Class 6-8 DR agencies, and the Alpha Test Site, will each have two new printers in operation. The
153 Class 1-5 DR agencies, License Control DR, DTS and IT will have one new printer in operation.
Ten printers are required for the inventory bank. Due to budget constraints, the state has limited the
agencies with redundant printers. However, the state may add redundant printers at all locations at
any time during the Contract.
The Contractor must provide new replacement equipment at its expense when the problems causing
the replacements are due to no fault of the State. Refurbished or used equipment is not acceptable
to the State of Ohio.
Alternate Printing. Where applicable, it is the expectation of the ODPS to keep the usage wear and
tear of the new printers to a minimum. The solution delivered must provide for alternate printing
between the printers. If a printer is not functional due to a breakdown, the DR must have the ability
to print from one printer only.
