The HID FARGO Connect Enabled HDP6600, part number 078034 (also listed as 78034), is the dual-sided model with a one-material LMX wasteless laminator 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 HDP6600 retransfer engine: high-definition 600 dpi over-the-edge printing at up to 230 cards per hour with HID's iON instant-on technology, a SmartScreen OLED control panel, and AES-256 encryption with resin scramble data protection. Because the printhead never touches the card, it carries a lifetime printhead warranty.
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 HDP6600 factory warranty (see specifications).
