encoding smart cards and reading proximity
cards. However your card issuance needs
change, the DTC550 can adapt.
Everywhere you need it.
The Fargo DTC550 is an ideal solution for
issuing cards at multiple locations. With an
Ethernet port and internal print server, you can
install a DTC550 anywhere on a LAN. That
gives greater freedom when you’re planning
widespread or high-volume card issuance for
applications such as employee access cards,
government and student IDs, customer loyalty
and membership cards.
Protecting against counterfeiters and
physical damage.
Want to protect
ID badges from
alteration,
counterfeiting and
everyday wear?
Add the optional
Card Lamination
Module to the
DTC550, either factory-installed or as a field
upgrade. Fargo Holographic Overlaminates
give your cards a higher level of security
protection and also add a layer of physical
protection. They provide durability against swipe
abrasion, prevent dye-migration (onto plastic
card pouches, for example), and shield against
image-fading UV light. If your application
requires secure cards that resist forgery and
tampering, or if your cards are subject to
extra physical wear, consider the optional
Card Lamination Module.
Easily integrates into your infrastructure.
A key feature of the DTC550 is that it plays
well with everything else on your network.
The DTC550 connects to your Windows
®
-
based PC through its USB port. It can also
be added to your network as easily as any
workgroup printer. And its print driver provides
bi-directional status information, so you can
monitor and manage the DTC550 just as you
would any other networked printer.
The DTC550 is fully compatible with most
ID card issuance software including Fargo
Asure ID
®
Photo ID software. Plus, Fargo can
provide a software development kit that will
help you integrate the DTC550 into other
applications such as security systems and
Human Resources databases.
Tougher, more secure cards.
Overlaminates add durability and higher-
level visual security features.
Networked, yet secure.
The DTC550 resides
on a LAN just like any other workgroup printer.
