Spec Sheet

The one ID card printer that
IT and security can agree on.
As a security professional, an enterprise network is
probably the last place you’d want to install an ID
card printer. As an IT administrator, an ID card
printer could be a security-sensitive target that you
probably wouldn’t want on your network. But as
you deploy tougher security measures throughout
your organization, a networked and secure ID card
printer could be exactly what you’ll need. And
Fargo already has it: The DTC550.
The Fargo DTC550 Direct-to-Card Printer/Encoder
supports secure ID card issuance at multiple loca-
tions throughout the enterprise. With an Ethernet
port and internal print server, your IT staff can
install a DTC550 anywhere on a LAN. The optional
Print Security software gives your security team
tight control over ID card printer access and use.
The DTC550 provides greater flexibility 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.
Print Security software protects access
and issuance throughout the enterprise.
In a networked environment, it’s easy to think of
the DTC550 as just another office printer. It’s not.
Without proper security measures, a DTC550 could
be used to produce fraudulent ID cards that are
indistinguishable from the real thing. That makes
Fargo’s optional Print
Security software a
critical part of any
DTC550 solution.
Whether you choose
the LAN-based Print
Security Manager,
™
or
the stand-alone Print
Security Suite,
™
you’ll
get applications that
provide essential pro-
tection for the DTC550 and your entire card
issuance system. Print Security software adds pass-
word-controlled access to the DTC550. It can notify
key personnel by text message or e-mail whenever
printing is attempted outside of authorized hours.

DIRECT-TO-CARD PRINTER/ENCODER
For printing, encoding and laminating ID cards across a large
organization, nothing integrates easier or is more secure.
Enhanced security anywhere.
Print Security software controls
printer access, card issuance
and authenticity from any
local or networked PC.
Versatility starts here. A basic DTC550
uses Fargo’s Direct-to-Card technology
to print full-color, single- and dual-
sided cards. Match specific needs with
connectivity, lamination and e-card
encoding options.
