This multi-standard capability makes it ideal for organizations requiring flexible credential encoding across different access control systems. We offer the DTC4500e with full encoding support to meet your enterprise security needs.
Can the DTC4500e print on both sides of an ID card?
Yes, the Fargo DTC4500e is a dual-sided printer capable of printing on both sides of plastic ID cards in a single pass.
