The HID FARGO Connect Enabled DTC4500e, part number 078003 (also listed as 78003), is the dual-sided DTC4500e built for HID's FARGO Connect cloud card-issuance platform. Instead of installing printer drivers on individual workstations, card offices design templates, capture data, and issue cards from any supported device through FARGO Connect's secure cloud or on-premises platform - with real-time printer visibility, consumables monitoring, and remote issuance to distributed locations.
The hardware is the same high-volume DTC4500e engine: 300 dpi dye-sublimation color with resin thermal transfer, about 16 seconds per full-color card, a 200-card dual input hopper, SmartScreen display, and standard AES-256 encryption with resin scramble data protection. USB 2.0 and Ethernet with an internal print server are standard.
Please note: FARGO Connect Enabled printers operate through the HID FARGO Connect platform, which requires a FARGO Connect Console and an annual FARGO Connect subscription, sold separately. Contact Specialist ID before ordering and we will help configure the complete solution for your card program. HID backs the DTC4500e with a three-year printer and printhead warranty.
