Functional Specifications
This Card Printer utilizes two different, yet closely related printing technologies to achieve its remarkable
direct-to-card print quality for dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer.
Printer Components: Print Ribbons
The Card Printer utilizes both dye-sublimation and/or resin thermal transfer methods to print images
directly onto blank cards. Since the dye-sublimation and the resin thermal transfer print methods each
provide their own unique benefits, Print Ribbons are available in resin-only, dye-sublimation-only and
combination dye-sublimation/resin versions.
To make it easier to remember which Print Ribbons are which, a letter code has been developed to
indicate the type of Ribbon panels found on each Ribbon. This letter code is as follows:
= Dye-Sublimation Yellow Panel
= Dye-Sublimation Magenta Panel
= Dye-Sublimation Cyan Panel
= Resin Black Panel (Premium unless otherwise stated)
= Clear Protective Overlay Panel
= Fluorescing Panel

Printer Components: Blank Cards
Type
Description
Card Size
The Card Printer accepts standard CR-79 and CR-80 sized cards.
Card
Surface
Suitable cards must have a polished PVC surface free of fingerprints, dust
or any other types of embedded contaminants. In addition, cards must
have a completely smooth, level surface in order for the Printer to achieve
consistent color coverage.
Certain types of Proximity cards have an uneven surface that will
inhibit consistent color transfer.
Certain types of smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards
surface which also results in poor color transfer.
UltraCard™
Brand
Cards
The UltraCard product line, available exclusively as part of HID's Global's
Fargo brand secure card issuance solutions, has a long standing
reputation among dealers and end-Users for consistent quality in
construction.
In addition to blank stock, the UltraCard line is available in a variety of
configurations for magnetic stripe, custom holograms and other
additional anti-counterfeiting feature
UltraCard™ Premium is the preferred card for Direct-to-Card (DTC®)
applications that require a higher quality card. The UltraCard
Premium‟s composite material construction provides for maximum
durability, flexibility and card life, with optimal resolution print quality
for lamination and fluorescent panel Ribbon printing applications.
UltraCard™ PVC cards are medium-durability cards for a glossy,
photo quality finish. These cards are manufactured to ensure clean,
scratch-free cards for high-quality prints and extended Printhead life.

Section 2: Setup and Installation Procedures
This section describes the setup and installation for the DTC1000, DTC1000M, and the DTC4000
Card Printers.
Choosing a Good Location
Follow these guidelines:
Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build up.
Use the Printer's dimensions as a guideline for the minimum clearances to the unit. (Note: Allow for
adequate clearance in front of the unit to accommodate the unit with its Covers open.)
Do not install unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
About Moisture Condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense inside the unit. Should this occur, print quality may not be optimum.
Leave the unit unplugged in a warm, dry room for several hours before using. This will allow the moisture
to evaporate.
Caution: For safety purposes, Ethernet is not intended for a direct connection outside of the
building.
Unpacking and Inspection
While unpacking your Printer, inspect the carton to ensure that no damage has occurred during shipping.
Make sure that all supplied accessories are included with your unit.
Check that the following items are included:
Power Supply
US / EU Power Cable
USB cable (2.0)
Software Installation CD
Card Printer User Guide
Warranty Statement, Compliancy Document

Installing the Print Ribbon Cartridge (DTC1000/DTC1000M,
and DTC4000)
Fargo Card Printers requires highly specialized supplies to function properly.
The Fargo DTC1000, DTC1000M, and DTC4000 Card Printers use a one-piece, disposable Ribbon
Cartridge load system.
To maximize Printer life, reliability, printed card quality and durability, you must use only Fargo-
certified supplies.
For this reason, your Fargo warranty is void, where not prohibited by law, if you use non-Fargo-
certified supplies.
Printer cleaning is recommended with each Ribbon change to ensure quality printed cards.
Resin-only Print Ribbons consist of a continuous roll of a single resin color. No protective overlay
panel (O) is provided since resin images do not require the protection of such an overlay.
