Reviewing the HDP600 Sequence of Operations

The following sequence describes a dual sided full color print job with magnetic encoding.

(Note: The HDP625/625-LC Printers have two (2) Card Input Hoppers that load 100 cards in each Hopper.)

The File information is received from the PC.

The Heater warms up and/or maintains the heat on the hot Roller using the Thermocouple to help maintain the desired temp.

The DC Motor and Stepper Motor turn ON and run until a card is seen by the card Sensor, which will cause the Card Input Motor to stop.

The Stepper will continue to run a certain number of steps to position the card on the Flipper Table. All stop. Card Low Sensor will check for cards in Input Hopper.

Stepper will turn ON, causing the Flipper to turn to the magnetic angular position. The Flag Sensor and counted steps are used to determine the angular position. All stop.

Stepper will engage to drive the card past the Mag Card Sensor and the Mag Head.

Stepper engages to drive the card to a centered position on the Flipper Table using the Mag Card Sensor and a step count. All stop.

Stepper will turn ON, causing the Flipper to turn to the default (flat) position. The Flat Sensor and counted steps are used to determine the angular position. All stop.

Steppers engage to move the card OFF the Flipper and to a position near the hot Roller, using Card Feed Sensors and a step count. All stop.

The Ribbon Drives turn ON and move until the correct panel is found by the Print Ribbon Sensor array (5 reflective). All stop. (Note: The Print Ribbon Encoder is active during this step.)

This step occurs simultaneously with Step 10 (below).

The Film Drives turn ON until the Film is positioned with the Film Print Alignment Sensor. (Note: This is the closest Sensor to the Transfer Rollers.)

All stop. (Note: The Film Ribbon Encoder is active during this step.)

The Headlift Motor engages, moving the Printhead down until Headlift Sensor is activated. All stop.

HDP600, HDP600 CR100, HDP600-LC specifications

FARGO, a renowned name in the world of identification and card printing technologies, has created a powerful lineup of printers, including the HDP600-LC, HDP600 CR100, and the HDP600. These models are designed to cater to a variety of needs, from corporate identification to secure access control, making them essential tools for businesses and organizations.

The FARGO HDP600-LC is known for its high-definition printing capabilities. It utilizes a unique retransfer printing process that allows for better image quality and durability. This process involves transferring the image onto a clear film before embedding it onto the card surface, resulting in vibrant colors and sharp details. The HDP600-LC also supports a range of card sizes, including CR80 and CR100, and is versatile enough to handle different card types, such as PVC, PET, and composite cards. Additionally, this model has an easy-to-use interface that makes it accessible for operators of all skill levels, featuring a simple LCD screen for convenient monitoring.

The FARGO HDP600 CR100 is specifically designed for printing CR100-sized cards, catering to industries that utilize larger card formats. This printer shares the same high-definition retransfer technology as the HDP600-LC, ensuring consistent image quality. Moreover, the HDP600 CR100 is equipped with advanced security features, including encryption and password protection, making it ideal for applications that require secure credentialing.

The FARGO HDP600 model stands out for its flexibility and efficiency. It allows for dual-sided printing, making it efficient for operations needing to print on both sides of the card without compromise. The printer can handle high-volume printing tasks with ease, thanks to its rapid throughput. Furthermore, its modular design makes it easy to upgrade and expand, ensuring that the HDP600 can evolve with an organization’s needs.

In terms of connectivity, all three models offer USB and Ethernet options, allowing for easy integration into existing systems. They are designed for durability and reliability, with components built to withstand regular usage in a busy environment. With features such as automatic card thickness detection and a range of finishing modules for laminating and encoding, the FARGO HDP600 series represents the culmination of advanced technologies for modern card printing needs.

In conclusion, whether it's the HDP600-LC, HDP600 CR100, or HDP600, FARGO delivers robust identification solutions that meet diverse printing demands while prioritizing quality, security, and user-friendliness.
