The one ID card
printer that IT and security can agree on.
 As
a security professional, an enterprise network is probably
the last place you’d want to install an ID card printer. As
an IT administrator, an ID card printer could be a
security-sensitive target that you probably wouldn’t want on
your network. But as you deploy tougher security measures
throughout your organization, a networked and secure ID card
printer could be exactly what you’ll need. And Fargo already
has it: The DTC550. The
Fargo DTC550 Direct-to-Card
Printer/Encoder supports secure ID card issuance at multiple
locations throughout the enterprise. With an Ethernet port
and internal print server, your IT staff can install a
DTC550 anywhere on a LAN. The optional Print Security
software gives your security team tight control over ID card
printer access and use. The DTC550 provides greater
flexibility when you’re planning widespread or
high-volume
card issuance for applications such as employee access
cards, government and student IDs, customer loyalty and
membership cards. In a networked environment, it’s easy to
think of the DTC550 as just another office printer. It’s
not. Without proper security measures, a DTC550 could be
used to produce fraudulent ID cards that are
indistinguishable from the real thing. That makes Fargo’s
optional Print Security software a critical part of any
DTC550 solution. Whether you choose the LAN-based Print
Security Manager, or the stand-alone Print Security Suite,
you’ll get applications that provide essential protection
for the DTC550 and your entire card issuance system. Print
Security software adds password-controlled access to the
DTC550. It can notify key personnel by text message or
e-mail whenever printing is attempted outside of authorized
hours The Security Imaging application (optional with Print
Security Manager) adds covert visual security features to ID
cards, taking card security to a higher level while
providing card authentication data about the print event.
Print Security software also gathers printer diagnostic data
for troubleshooting, and can send an online order for
Fargo
Secure Materials to a Fargo SecureMark™ Integrator.
Easily integrates into your IT infrastructure.
The most attractive feature of the DTC550 for IT managers is
that it plays well with everything else on your network. The
DTC550 connects to your Windows®-based PC through its USB
port. It can also be added to your network as easily as any
workgroup printer. The optional Ethernet port and internal
print server allow you to install and share the DTC550
anywhere you need it. And its print driver provides
bi-directional status information, so you can monitor and
manage the DTC 550 just as you would any other networked
printer. The DTC550 is fully compatible with most ID card
issuance software. Plus, Fargo can provide a software
development kit that will help you integrate the DTC550 into
other applications such as security systems and HR
databases. |
