ID Cards

Printer range adds

by Mark Rowe

HID Global has added to its FARGO range of identity card printers.

The makers report improvements in speeds allow users to produce more cards, more quickly, with the security of AES-256 encryption, locking hoppers and printer password protection on the DTC4500e.

Craig Sandness, vice president of product marketing, Secure Issuance with HID Global, said: “Since its original launch in 2010, our FARGO DTC line of printers have been relied on more than any other brand to produce hundreds of millions of secure identification credentials around the world. The breadth and depth of HID Global’s secure issuance solutions is simply unmatched in the industry and with these new DTC enhancements, our printers are now 50 percent faster, dramatically saving issuance time for our customers while reinforcing our dedication to continually increasing the value of their Genuine HID investments.”

Features include:

In-line Physical Access Control Data Programming/Encoding: HID Global’s FARGO DTC printers can be specified to include the multi-technology iCLASS SE encoder, for making cards, and encoding, and personalising them and managing ID card batches inside the printer. According to the makers this reduces admin, and hardware costs. The DTC units simplify migration from current card technologies, such as magstripe cards, to smart cards. Cards can be encoded with company or employee information, and programmed to work with physical access control systems, depending on the permissions written onto the card. Users can streamline card ordering, inventory management and issuance.

The new, faster DTC printers can be used to produce 50 percent more cards in the same given time it is claimed as the company’s earlier DTC models, and they can deliver cards to users 50 percent more quickly than previously.

The new DTC printers let users produce cards from any location, at any time, when using HID Global’s Asure ID card personalisation software on a Windows 8 Pro Tablet over a secure wireless network. An optional Wi-Fi® accessory connected to a FARGO DTC printer/encoder eliminates the need for wall-mounted Ethernet jacks and cables. This allows card enrollment and printing in the field, including the adding of bar codes, and company logos.

HID Global’s latest FARGO DTC printers features AES-256 data encryption support, can be specified with an iCLASS SE encoder and can be used with HID Global’s Wi-Fi accessory for mobile card enrollment and issuance. The four products are:

FARGO DTC1000Me monochrome printer:

FARGO DTC1250e colour printer

FARGO DTC4250e and DTC4500e colour printers.
