Fargo DTC400e ID Card Printers

NEVER HASSLE WITH RIBBONS OR CARD CLEANING AGAIN.

Anyone whos ever operated an ID card printer knows the frustration: hard-to-load ribbons, separate card cleaning mechanisms and confusing indicator lights. The DTC400e eliminates these hassles with simplified materials handling and a user-friendly interface. An all-in-one ribbon cartridge combines the printer ribbon and card cleaning roller into one cartridge. Just slide it into the DTC400e and youre done. The LCD control panel replaces blinking indicator lights, giving you easy-to-follow prompts and commands so youll always know the status of your DTC400e.

EASILY ADAPTS TO CHANGING ID CARD NEEDS.

By using different card technologies, card types and ribbons, the Fargo DTC400e delivers a high level of flexibility. Personalize blank cards with full-color, edge-to-edge images. Print thin, flexible cards or conventional thickness smart cards on the same DTC400e. By choosing the right options, you can configure your DTC400e to match your ID card production requirements:

• Single- or dual-sided printing:
  • Double the printable area of your cards by opting for dual sided printing. You can add more company and cardholder information, and security features such as a duplicate photo and digital signature.
• Card technology:
  • Make your ID cards more versatile by adding smart card and access control capabilities. Optional DTC400e modules encode data onto contact and contactless smart cards (such as HID iCLASS® technology), proximity access control cards and magnetic stripe cards.
• Connectivity:
  • Selecting the Ethernet and internal print server option can increase the efficient use of your DTC400e by sharing it in networked card printing applications.

PRODUCE CARDS BOTH FLEXIBLE AND SMART.

The Fargo DTC400e is versatile enough to print and encode a wide range of card types, from 9 mil thin ID cards all the way up to 40 mil cards and smart cards with embedded electronics. That means your DTC400e is ready to produce cards for your current ID and access control needs, and whatever applications you might add in the future. Thin plastic cards, for example, are gaining popularity for use in health care, mass transit systems, highway tolls, parking, membership and customer loyalty programs. Because the cards are thin, flexible and lightweight, theyre easy to mail, attach to a patients chart or slip into a wallet. And every DTC400e can produce great-looking thin cards without add-ons or modifications.

THE SOLUTION FOR SHORT-LIVED CARDS.

Many cards are only used for hours or days, then thrown away. The DTC400e helps eliminate the waste of short-lived cards such as visitor badges or transit passes with the ability to erase and rewrite cards multiple times. Rewritable cards make new ID applications possible, such as: customer loyalty cards with updated point totals, library cards with current due dates, personalized IDs for volunteers, student IDs with schedule information and many more. And while rewritable printing is monochromatic, cards can be preprinted in full color so theres no compromising appearance quality. Since the printing on rewritable cards is easily changed, they should not be used for secure ID applications.

VERSATILITY PLUS SIMPLICITY EQUALS VALUE.

Whether you need employee access cards for a mid-sized company or membership cards for a video store, the Fargo DTC400e packs a lot of value into a compact card printer/encoder. Ask your HID Global integrator to show you the simplicity, versatility and reliability of the Fargo DTC400e.
