The Security Imaging application (optional with
Print Security Manager) adds covert visual security
features to ID cards, taking card security to a high-
er level while providing card authentication data
about the print event. Print Security software also
gathers printer diagnostic data for troubleshooting,
and can send an online order for Fargo Secure
Materials to a Fargo SecureMark
™
Integrator.
Easily integrates into your IT infrastructure.
The most attractive feature of the DTC550 for IT
managers 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. The optional Ethernet port and
internal print server allow you to install and share
the DTC550 anywhere you need it. 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. Plus, Fargo can provide a soft-
ware development kit that will help you integrate
the DTC550 into other applications such as security
systems and HR databases.
Flexible design protects your organization
and technology investment.
Change is a constant in large organizations, and
the Fargo DTC550 Direct-to-Card Printer/Encoder
gives you tremendous flexibility whenever you need
to reconfigure your ID card issuance system. The
DTC550 is one of the most versatile ID card print-
ers available, handling a wide range of secure ID
card applications; from on-demand photo IDs, to
Networked, yet secure. The DTC550
resides on LANs just like any other
workgroup printer. Fargo’s optional Print
Security software adds extra levels of
security against unauthorized access
and printing.
Lamination option adds an extra layer of
security and durability to extend card life.
