When investing in a new piece of equipment for your office, it's smart to consider your needs for today and your potential needs for tomorrow. One reason many organizations turn to the Fargo printer brand is for their modularity. Many Fargo printer upgrades are available that you can add to your printer - any time!
If your card printing needs may change, here are a few Fargo printer upgrades to keep in mind!
Fargo Printer Upgrades
Upgrade from single- to dual-sided printing: While you may only need to print on one side of the card now, you may want to take advantage of the real estate on the back of the card in the future. Most of today's Fargo card printers can easily upgrade to duplex printing!
For example, the Fargo DTC4500e can be updated with a dual-sided printing module that you simply attach to the side of your existing printer.
Add card encoding: A number of card encoding parts are available for Fargo card printers, including mag stripe encoders, contact and contactless card encoders, and more!
To install the card encoder, you simply need to open the printer and slide the part into its designated spot within the printer, following the provided instructions.
Update your card hopper: Unless you specify otherwise when ordering your printer, it will arrive with a standard input and output hopper set-up. Many Fargo hoppers, however, can be customized at the time of order - or after.
For example, the DTC4250e can be adjusted to have a same-side input and output hopper, a convenient option for smaller printer stations/desks. Another example, a dual-input hopper can be added to the HDP5000 to increase efficiency.
Add WiFi capability: All current Ethernet-enabled Fargo direct-to-card printers can add a WiFi accessory, allowing you to produce ID cards anywhere, anytime.
