Professional credentials, printed at your desk
The Entrust Sigma DS1 Manual Feed printer is the compact, front-counter version of the Sigma DS1: the 125-card input hopper and LED light bars are removed, and you feed one card at a time through the front slot. That makes it the right pick for visitor management desks, reception counters, and programs that switch between multiple pre-printed cardstocks on the fly — at a lower price than the standard DS1, in a smaller and lighter chassis.
About the Identiv encoder in this configuration
This configuration includes the factory-installed Identiv all-in-one smart card encoder (kit 531291-001). It personalizes both contact chip cards (ISO 7816 — the gold-pad chips you insert) and contactless credentials (ISO 14443 A/B and ISO 15693, including MIFARE and MIFARE DESFire EV1/EV2). It is a loosely coupled encoder: the reader connects to the host PC through its own USB cable, which makes it the flexible choice for third-party issuance software that talks to readers directly. Choose the HID Omnikey option instead if your building access runs on HID iCLASS, Seos, or Prox credentials.
Magnetic stripe encoding built in
This configuration writes ISO 7811 magnetic stripes — tracks 1, 2 and 3, high- or low-coercivity — inline as each card prints, so badges come out of the printer ready to swipe.
Secure by design
The Sigma platform treats the printer as a trusted IoT device: Secure Boot blocks tampered firmware at power-up, a Trusted Platform Module holds the printer’s own TLS certificates, every connection to your issuance software is encrypted, and no cardholder data remains in the printer after the card prints. Add UV fluorescent or luster security ribbons for visible and covert card authentication without extra hardware.
Cloud, on-premises, or pay-as-you-print
Drive the DS1 with Entrust Adaptive Issuance Instant ID software on your network, from the cloud — including simultaneous issuance of a physical card and a digital mobile flashpass — or through Instant ID as a Service ribbons that bundle the cloud software license into the ribbon itself. A standard Windows driver covers third-party software.
Specialist ID is an authorized Entrust partner — your printer, supplies, and 36-month warranty are fully backed by Entrust.
