Fargo DTC550 Specifications
DTC550 Card Printer & System
Combines reliable ID card printing with networking capabilities for secure issuance throughout the enterprise.
- Flexible design for centralized or distributed ID card issuance in large corporations, service bureaus or large educational institutions.
- Optional Ethernet connectivity and internal print server integrates with existing enterprise networks.
- Wide range of features and options for security, productivity, easy management and operation.
DTC550 System
Fargo Secure hardware and software work together with the DTC550 to protect your entire ID card issuance process.
Managing distributed issuance
Fargo Print Security software handles the special security and management challenges of networked ID card printer/encoders.
Purchase Considerations
Are your IT managers skeptical about putting an ID card printer/encoder on their network? With the DTC550, they have nothing to worry about.
SecureVault™
SecureVault is unique hardware and software system for protecting an often-overlooked part of card identity systems — materials security. SecureVault tracks the movement and use of blank cards, printer ribbons, holographic films and other sensitive materials.
Preconfigured DTC550 Card Identity System
Fargo system experts have pre-configured best-in-class hardware and software components, so all you have to do is make cards.
Visual Security™ Solutions: Holographic Overlaminates
Add security and durability to your ID cards. Select either a high-secure holographic overlaminate using your own custom image, or a standard holographic globe design.
DTC550 System Video
See how all the components of the versatile DTC550 System printer/encoder, software, materials and accessories work together to produce ID cards for a wide range of applications. Includes demos and an interactive 360° view of the DTC550 printer/encoder.
Print Security Software
Whether your DTC550 printer/encoder operates on a network or as a stand-alone unit, Fargo Print Security software helps keep issuance secure with management and monitoring of card identity system components.
Holographic Foil Cards
These cards feature a tamper-resistant, instantly verifiable foil that’s permanently embedded into the card surface. The foil alone helps make non-laminated ID cards more secure, or it can add another security layer to laminated cards.
FEATURES AND OPTIONS
Optional Ethernet connectivity
The optional Ethernet port and internal print server give you the flexibility to network multiple printer/encoders in a distributed corporate or service bureau environment. Bi-directional status lets you monitor and manage your Fargo printer/encoders just like other networked printers.
Optional smart card encoding
Comprehensive security applications frequently combine photo IDs with some type of technology or “smart” cards. With optional modules, Fargo’s Professional Series printer/encoders can encode up to three smart card technologies in one pass: contact and contactless smart card, magnetic stripe, and proximity card (read-only).
Optional lamination module
Photo ID cards are often subject to extra wear and tear; especially when they’re used for access control or employee services. The optional lamination module not only makes your cards more durable, it can add a critical layer of security that’s extremely difficult to forge.
Optional dual-sided printing
Dual-sided printing doubles the printable area of your ID cards. That means you can put larger photos on the front, and additional information, bar codes and digitized signatures on the back. Dual-sided printing can also make cards harder to counterfeit.

Purchase Considerations
After you’ve read through all of the features and options, checked the specs, and have seen how the DTC550 fits into a secure card identity system, you ultimately have to ask: Is this the right card printer/encoder for my security applications? As you ponder your purchase decision, here are some things to consider:
Security
Corporations, post-secondary educational institutions, state and local governments all present a diverse array of security needs. The DTC550 provides the adaptability and security you need to meet these challenges, whether it’s physical access to offices or research labs, or logical access to critical networks or databases. With the DTC550’s optional lamination module, you can enhance its Direct-to-Card printing with a holographic overlaminate and Visual Security Elements that are virtually impossible to counterfeit.
Functionality
The DTC550 offers two important options: Ethernet connectivity, and smart card encoding modules. Networking capability makes the DTC550 a versatile element for distributed card issuance across the enterprise. Smart cards are a smart idea in a wide range of applications. The same card that grants facilities access can also carry biometrics for network access and code for charging lunch in the cafeteria. The DTC550’s optional encoding modules cover all of the major card technologies, from proximity to DESFire. Using the DTC550 to combine identity functions into one multipurpose card not only saves money, it makes your operations more secure.
Card issuance
We can’t say it enough: An ID card is only as secure as the system that issued it. And Fargo makes the world’s most secure card identity systems. They’re built on a common technology platform Fargo’s exclusive SecureMark® Technology that reduces vulnerabilities throughout the system, from storing blank ribbons to password-protecting printers. When you combine the DTC550 printer/encoder with our Print Security Manager™ software and SecureVault™ materials management system, you surround your card issuance process with exceptionally high-level protection.
