Field Upgradeable Printer by Technician
Legacy models of PVC card printers were "what you see is what you get." If you wanted a dual sided printer or mag encoder in the printer for future use, the original purchase of the printer needed to encompass every function that would be needed throughout the lifetime of the printer.
More recent models of ID card printers allow organizations to purchase a base model and upgrade the printer as needed. Several printers from various manufacturers allow purchasers to purchase, at a reasonable price, a basic single sided id card printer. If the card making organization wishes to change the card with a module not included on the printer at a future time, modules can be obtained individually and added to the base model printer to increase the fuctionality of the printer and provide an increased capable card for additional requirements.
Some of the modules that can be purchased and installed at your location are:
The Fargo HDP5000 printer is an example of a card printer that allows modules to be upgraded in the field.
