Built to withstand large print volumes required by organizations, the DTC4500e Single-Sided Card Printer from Fargo comes equipped with a variety of features that will allow users to quickly produce ID cards that suit their needs. It also supports HID iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MIFARE/DESFire, and HID PROX (Omnikey Cardman 5127) smart card encoding. This direct-to-card printer uses dye sublimation and thermal transfer technology to produce CR-80 and CR-79 adhesive backed cards with a 300 dpi resolution.

The printer is capable of printing at a rate of 6 seconds per card in monochrome and at 24 seconds per card in full color with two black resin panels. It can print single-sided and edge-to-edge for optimum quality. Batch jobs are simplified by the use of a 100-card input hopper and a 100-card output hopper. There is also a 100-card reject hopper for getting misprints out of the way. The printer has both USB 2.0 and Ethernet connectivity options with an internal print server for secure printing.

The integrated iCLASS SE encoder enables your printer to be compatible with the HID secure identity systems. It includes the ability to program the HID Physical Access Control System (PACS) data in the printer. This encoder provides an additional layer of security to your identity program by allowing for processing of Secure Identity Object (SIO) data, and enabling the printer to become a Trusted Identity Platform (TIP) endpoint.
