Frequently Asked Questions
What encoding technologies does the Fargo DTC4500e support?
The DTC4500e supports multiple encoding modules for magnetic stripe, proximity, contact, and contactless technology cards, including iCLASS®, HID Prox, MIFARE/DESFire, and Seos smart card encoding through the Omnikey 5127-USB encoder. This versatility allows you to create access control cards and other encoded applications in a single pass.
Can the DTC4500e print on both sides of an ID card?
Yes, the DTC4500e features a dual-sided printing module that enables simultaneous printing on both sides of the card in a single pass. This provides more space for cardholder information and security features like duplicate photos and digital signatures, while also supporting optional single-sided lamination.
How does the DTC4500e reduce ribbon replacement costs?
The DTC4500e uses high-capacity ribbons that enable it to print twice as many full-color cards compared to most other printers before ribbon replacement is needed. This extended ribbon life provides continuous high-quality card printing and reduces operational downtime and supply costs.
What connectivity options are available on the DTC4500e?
The DTC4500e offers both USB and Ethernet connectivity, allowing flexible integration into your existing network infrastructure. This dual-connection capability makes it easy to deploy in various workplace environments and connect to your card management systems.
What security features does the DTC4500e include?
The DTC4500e combines multiple security features including password-protected printer operation and built-in fluorescent panel printing for cost-effective dynamic security enhancement. Optional card lamination is also available to apply overlaminates that resist forgery and increase card durability for high-security applications.
Is the DTC4500e field-upgradeable for future security needs?
Yes, the DTC4500e offers field-upgradeable options that allow you to migrate to higher levels of security in the future without replacing the entire printer. You can add lamination modules, encoding capabilities, and other security features as your organization's needs evolve.
