Fargo DTC515 Printer

The FARGO DTC 515 printer sets a new standard in id card personalization systems. The DTC515 Card Printer offer the features you need for high-volume or on-demand applications.

Loaded with advanced features, FARGO's DTC515 id card printer is expertly engineered -- yet surprisingly simple. Whether you print membership cards, employee access cards, student IDs or loyalty cards, you'll be impressed with the rugged reliability, ease-of-use and quiet performance of these versatile and compact printers.

With optional (add-on) Mag stripe encoding, none of the other direct-to-card id card printers can match the encoding capability of the DTC515 card printer. The encoder lets you print and encode or read a card with up to three different e-card technologies plus a magnetic stripe -- all in a single pass! It can print and encode standard-sized e-cards, including contact and contactless smart cards, and thick, "clamshell" proximity cards (read only) -- all in one easy step!

FARGO also offers the option of adding single or double-sided lamination -- even after you've purchased your printer! You can order a DTC515-LC with the Single-Sided Lamination Module factory-installed. Or, order a standard DTC515 card printer, and add the module when your needs change. It applies overlaminate to the front and/or back of your cards -- all in the same pass as your printing and encoding! Plus, FARGO's clear and holographic PolyGuard Overlaminates provide up to 25 times more protection than standard overlays.

The DTC515 models also feature a security package that includes a Card Hopper Lock to protect valuable cards, FARGO's exclusive SmartGuard Printer Security, and SmartShield� Card Security technology.

    * Print speed indicates an approximate batch print speed and is measured from the time a card feeds into the printer to the time it ejects from the printer. Print speeds do not include the time needed for the PC to process the image. Process time is dependent of the size of the file, the CPU, amount of RAM and the amount of available resources at the time of the print.

To maximize printed card quality, durability and printer/encoder reliability, use only Fargo Certified Supplies. Fargo warranties are void, where not prohibited by law, when non-Fargo Certified Supplies are used.
