Description
The HID FARGO DTC1250e is a direct-to-card ID card printer built for organizations that need to print and encode secure credentials in one step. As the fastest printer in its class, it produces a full-color card in about 16 seconds (around 225 cards per hour) and a monochrome card in 6 seconds. This is the fully loaded single-sided model, part number 050046 (also listed as 50046): USB plus Ethernet with an internal print server, an ISO magnetic stripe encoder, and an integrated OMNIKEY 5122 encoder for HID iCLASS, MIFARE, and DESFire contactless and contact smart cards.
It prints at 300 dpi, combining dye-sublimation for photo-quality color with resin thermal transfer for sharp black text and barcodes. Designed for ultralow maintenance, the EZ ribbon cartridge loads in seconds and its integrated cleaning roller is replaced automatically with every ribbon change.
This configuration is ideal for access-control and secure-credential programs: print the card, encode the magnetic stripe, and personalize iCLASS, MIFARE, or DESFire smart-card technology in a single pass, all over a shared network connection. Built-in security protects your card program: AES-256 encryption secures data in transit between your PC and the printer, while HID's resin scramble feature renders used ribbon panels unreadable. The DTC1250e is also field-upgradeable to dual-sided printing.
