Frequently Asked Questions
What encoding technologies does the Fargo DTC4500e support?
The DTC4500e integrates multiple encoding modules including magnetic stripe, proximity, contact, and contactless technology cards such as iCLASS®, MIFARE/DESFire, and HID Prox for access control and other applications. The base model we offer includes an integrated HID Prox, iCLASS, MIFARE/DESFire smart card encoder with Omnikey Cardman 5121 and 5125 compatibility, making it ideal for secure identity solutions requiring diverse card formats.
Can the DTC4500e print on both sides of an ID card?
Yes, the DTC4500e features a dual-sided printing module that provides more space for card holder information and security features like duplicate photos and digital signatures. This capability allows you to maximize the information density and security features on each card in a single pass.
Does the Fargo DTC4500e offer lamination capabilities?
The DTC4500e available from us includes single-sided lamination for applying overlaminates to produce high-secure cards that resist forgery and increase card durability. The printer can perform printing, encoding, fluorescent printing, and lamination all in one pass, with unique dual-sided simultaneous lamination options available to increase throughput.
How long do the ribbons last on the DTC4500e?
The DTC4500e uses high-capacity ribbons that enable the printer to produce twice as many full-color cards compared to most printers before ribbon replacement is needed. This extended ribbon life provides continuous high-quality card printing and reduces supply changeover frequency, making it ideal for high-volume operations.
What connectivity options does the DTC4500e provide?
The DTC4500e base model we offer includes both USB and Ethernet connectivity, allowing flexible integration into your existing network infrastructure. These dual connection options ensure compatibility with various IT environments and enable remote printing capabilities for enterprise deployments.
What security features are built into the DTC4500e?
The DTC4500e combines multiple security layers including password-protected printer operation and fluorescent panel printing for cost-effective, dynamic increases in card security. These built-in security features help prevent counterfeiting and unauthorized card production while maintaining ease of use and integration with other HID products.
