PCT No. PCT/FR91/00892 Sec. 371 Date May 13, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date May 13, 1993 PCT Filed Nov. 13, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/09052 PCT Pub. Date May 29, 1992.The invention relates to a machine for the electrical and graphic customization of chip cards. Instead of a standard thermal print head which is applied flat against the card to be printed on and then requires the bending of the chip card during the printing, a vertical print head (120) is used, the heating elements of this vertical print head being arranged on the edge of a thin vertical support. The card (116) can be shifted in a flat position and in an unbent state beneath this head during the graphical printing. It is then delivered, while still in a flat position, to a standard chip card reader (150) in which the electrical customization is done. The cards are not damaged, the mechanical features are greatly simplified and there is no risk of mixing up the graphic and electrical data corresponding to several different cards.
