Printer Components: Card Output Hopper and Reject Hopper

Type

Description

 

 

Card Output

All standard Card Printers provide a 100 card capacity Card Output

Hopper

Hopper (based on a standard 30 mil card thickness). (Note: This

 

Hopper stores the cards after they are printed.) Shown in the lower

 

left.

 

• Once set in place, the Input Hopper is secured with a latch that

 

is deactivated by a lever located in an area with restricted

 

access.

 

• Reject hopper functionality when connected to the Output

 

Module. The storage is available on the output tray.

 

 

Good Card

The Printer has a 100 card Output Hopper for good cards. The

Hopper

good cards are stacked in a location that is covered during normal

 

operation.

 

 

Reject Hopper

The Printer has a 10 to 20 card Output Hopper for reject cards. The

 

reject cards are stacked in a location that is locked during normal

 

operation.

 

 

Exception Feed

The Printer has a simple single card exception feed that can be

 

initiated by an external command.

 

Once this command is sent, the Printer waits for the insertion of the

 

exception card into the exception feed slot, located at the top of the

 

Printer.

 

A card (inserted into this card slot prior to this command) may

 

cause the Printer to jam when printing occurs.

HDPii specifications

The FARGO electronic HDPii is a high-performance card printer known for its ability to produce high-definition plastic cards with exceptional quality and reliability. This advanced printing technology is particularly popular in various industries, including corporate, educational, and government sectors, where secure and durable identification cards are paramount.

One of the standout features of the FARGO HDPii is its High Definition Printing (HDP) technology. Unlike traditional dye-sublimation printers, which print directly onto the card surface, the HDPii prints images onto a thin film that is then fused to the card. This method ensures vibrant colors and sharper images, even for intricate designs and fine text. Moreover, the HDP technology allows for printing in full color and supports a wide range of card formats, including access control cards, smart cards, and ID badges.

Another key characteristic of the FARGO HDPii is its versatility. The printer is capable of handling both single-sided and dual-sided printing tasks, making it adaptable to various requirements. Users can customize card designs according to specific needs, whether they require simple identification badges or sophisticated security credentials with embedded technology.

The HDPii is also designed with user-friendliness in mind. Its intuitive interface simplifies operation, and the printer can be easily integrated into existing workflows. The system is equipped with USB and Ethernet connectivity options, allowing for seamless integration with different operating systems and network environments.

Security is another essential aspect of the FARGO HDPii. The printer supports advanced encoding options, such as magnetic stripe, smart card, and proximity card encoding, ensuring that users can create secure cards that meet stringent identification standards. Additionally, the HDPii has built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and tampering with printed cards.

Additional characteristics include its compact design, which makes it suitable for various workspace environments. The printer's robust construction ensures longevity, with minimal maintenance required. With an impressive print speed, the FARGO HDPii can produce up to 150 full-color cards per hour, making it an efficient choice for high-volume production.

In conclusion, the FARGO electronic HDPii is a state-of-the-art card printer that combines high-quality output, versatile features, and advanced security technologies. It is an ideal solution for organizations looking to streamline their card production processes while ensuring the highest standards of security and design. With its reliable performance and user-friendly design, the HDPii continues to be a preferred choice for remarkably effective identification solutions.
