Frequently Asked Questions
What encoding technologies does the Fargo DTC4500e support?
The DTC4500e supports multiple encoding technologies including magnetic stripe, proximity, contact, and contactless smart card encoding such as iCLASS®, MIFARE/DESFire, and HID Prox. This makes it ideal for access control and other applications requiring embedded electronics on ID cards. We offer the DTC4500e with integrated HID Prox, iCLASS, MIFARE/DESFire, and contact smart card encoder (Omnikey Cardman 5121 and 5125) modules.
Can the Fargo DTC4500e print on both sides of a card?
Yes, the DTC4500e features dual-sided printing and dual-sided simultaneous lamination capabilities. This allows you to print more information and security features on both sides of the card, such as duplicate photos and digital signatures, while the simultaneous lamination saves time and increases throughput compared to single-sided printing.
How long do the ribbons last on the DTC4500e?
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 provides continuous high-quality card printing and encoding with fewer supply interruptions, making it ideal for high-volume operations.
What connectivity options are available on the DTC4500e?
The DTC4500e is available with both USB and Ethernet connectivity, allowing flexible integration into your existing network infrastructure. This dual-connectivity option makes it easy to connect to your systems whether you prefer direct USB connection or network-based printing.
What security features does the DTC4500e include?
The DTC4500e combines multiple security features including password-protected printer operation and fluorescent panel printing for cost-effective dynamic security enhancement. Additionally, optional card lamination applies overlaminates to produce high-secure cards that resist forgery and increase card durability.
Is the Fargo DTC4500e field-upgradeable?
Yes, the DTC4500e offers field-upgradeable options for migration to higher levels of security in the future. You can add optional lamination modules and various encoding technologies without requiring a complete printer replacement, protecting your investment as your security needs evolve.
