The HID FARGO Connect Enabled HDP5000e, part number 078107 (also listed as 78107), is the dual-sided model 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 proven HDP5000e retransfer engine: high-definition 600 dpi printing onto HDP film that is fused to the card for true over-the-edge coverage on technology cards, with USB 2.0 and Ethernet standard and AES-256 encryption with resin scramble data protection guarding cardholder data.
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. The printer carries HID's standard HDP5000e factory warranty (see specifications).
