DTC400 - Direct-To-Card Printer/Encoder
Making
your organization more secure just got easier.
The
DTC400 Card Printer/Encoder is designed to make issuing
ID cards easier and more secure, which adds to the
security of your entire organization. The DTC400 is simple
to operate, virtually maintenance- free and can be field-upgraded
as your needs expand. When
you combine the DTC400 with the optional Print Security
Suite™ software, Visual Security™ cards
and Fargo’s
exclusive SecureMark™ Technology, you get the most
secure ID card issuance solution in its class.
The
DTC400 uses Fargo’s Direct-to-Card (DTC®) Technology
to print sharp, colorful photos and graphics as well as
bar codes and digitized signatures. It’s an excellent
choice for small- to midsized corporations, K-12 schools,
public safety departments and local and state government
agencies and facilities.

Never
hassle with ribbons or card cleaning again. Anyone
who’s ever operated an ID card printer knows
the drill: hard-to-load ribbons, separate card cleaning
mechanisms and confusing indicator lights. The DTC400
eliminates these hassles with simplified materials
handling and a user-friendly interface. Our SmartLoad™ Ribbon
Cartridge combines the printer ribbon and SmartClean™ card
cleaning roller into one disposable cartridge. Just
slide it into the DTC400 and you’re done. The
LCD control panel replaces blinking indicator lights,
giving you easy-to-follow prompts and commands so you’ll
always know the status of your DTC400. |
Easily adapts to changing security needs.
Organizations
these days are constantly evaluating and improving their
security measures. It’s difficult to know what type
of card functionality you might need in the future. Fargo
lets you add encoding and dual-sided printing modules to
your DTC400 as your security needs change. Order the model
that’s
right for you today (with mag stripe encoding only, for
example). Then rest easy, knowing that you can add a prox
card reader, smart card encoder or dual-sided printing module
to it tomorrow.

**Print speed indicates an approximate print speed and is measured
from the time a card drops into the output hopper to the time the
next card drops into the output hopper. Print speeds do not include
encoding time or the time needed for the PC to process the image.
Process time is dependent on the size of the file, the CPU, amount
of RAM and the amount of available resources at the time of the print.
