Reviewing the Printer Setup

The Printer parameters found in Setup Printer are preset at the factory and should not need to be changed unless an issue develops.

If a change to these settings is needed, be sure to record the changes on the Default settings sticker located inside of the Printer.

Caution: These settings are optimized at the factory and will rarely need to be changed.

Procedure

Caution: Do not alter these settings unless directed to do so by Fargo Technical Support or instructions in this User Guide. Changing these settings may negatively affect Printer output. (Note: Located inside of the Printer is a label that states the factory defaults for all settings, along with the Printer serial number.)

a.Use these values to reset the Printer for Printer problems.

b.To adjust Print Offset, Transfer Temperature or Image Darkness, attempt to make these changes through the Printer Driver Image Transfer and Image color controls prior to changing the internal Printer settings.

Perform these three (3) procedures as a single alignment process: Print Offset, Transfer TOF and Transfer EOF.

The goal of these procedures is to align the printed image and the HDP Film precisely with the edges of the card. (Note: When aligned properly, the edge of the card will fall directly between all of the Outer and Inner Alignment Arrows.)

The numbers being entered for the settings are measured in Pixels.

The number of Pixels is equal to the measurement in inches multiplied by

300.(Note: For example, 0.100 in. multiplied by 300 equals 30 Pixels (0.1 x

300= 30).)

The alignment test image is designed for setting these parameters.

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.
