User-Friendly Modular DesignWith so many options, it's easy to customize the Smart-51 to meet your organization's specific needs. This allows you to get only the features you need without paying for expensive upgrades you may not use.
The base model comes as a single-sided, USB, non-encoding printer but you can choose to add dual-sided printing, Ethernet, and even lamination.
Convenient Batch PrintingThe Smart-51 ID card printer comes with a 100-card input hopper and a 40-card output hopper, so you can quickly and easily print small to mid-sized batches of cards without having to stop frequently to load new cards.
