Not only is it important to select the right model of ID card printer for your business; it's also critical to
determine the type of connection that’s best suited for your card printing needs. If you find yourself wondering which ID card printer connectivity option is best for you, there are three types:
- Standard USB – This is perfect for small print operations where you’re setting up a single-station print center.
- Ethernet – An ideal option for organizations that want to set their printer up over a network. This will allow more than one user to connect and send print jobs to your ID card printer.
- WiFi – This mobile printing option affords your company all the same benefits of Ethernet but with the freedom for users to connect wirelessly.
Most entry-level printers will come standard with only a USB connection. Oftentimes, it makes more sense to upgrade to a mid-level printer to gain the benefits of not only a more robust machine but also one that comes standard with both USB
and Ethernet.
For those who print on-the-go or want multiple users to be connected wirelessly, adding Ethernet with an internal print server and wireless adapter is the choice for you.
