Frequently Asked Questions
What encoding technologies does the Fargo DTC4500e support?
The DTC4500e supports multiple encoding modules including magnetic stripe, proximity, contact, and contactless technology cards such as iCLASS®, MIFARE/DESFire, and integrated HID Prox encoding. This model also includes smart card encoder capability with Omnikey Cardman 5121 and 5125 support, making it versatile for access control and other secure applications.
Can the DTC4500e print on both sides of an ID card?
Yes, the DTC4500e features a dual-sided printing module that allows you to print on both sides of the card in a single pass. This dual-sided capability provides more space for cardholder information and security features like duplicate photos and digital signatures.
What is the advantage of the DTC4500e's high-capacity ribbon?
The DTC4500e uses high-capacity ribbons that enable it to print twice as many full-color cards as most printers before the ribbon needs to be changed. This reduces downtime and provides continuous high-quality card printing and encoding for high-volume operations.
Does the Fargo DTC4500e include lamination capabilities?
The DTC4500e base model supports optional card lamination as a field-upgradeable feature. The printer offers unique dual-sided simultaneous lamination, which applies overlaminates to produce high-security cards that resist forgery and increase card durability while saving time with increased throughput.
What connectivity options are available on the DTC4500e?
The DTC4500e comes standard with USB and Ethernet connectivity. The USB interface is USB 1.1 compatible with USB 2.0 support, and the optional 10BASE-T Ethernet connection includes an internal print server for network integration.
What security features does the DTC4500e offer?
The DTC4500e includes built-in security with password-protected printer operation and fluorescent panel printing capabilities for cost-effective and dynamic increases in card security. These features, combined with the dual-sided printing and optional lamination, provide multiple layers of security against forgery and unauthorized duplication.
