Security
Protecting people, property and information is everyone’s priority these days. In companies, schools, libraries, retail establishments and a wide range of other organizations, the DTC400 has proven itself as an incredibly easy way to enhance your security. The optional dual-sided printing module gives you extra room on the back of each card for additional security information, bar codes and digitized signatures. Printing on VeriMark™ or HoloMark™ foil cards gives your IDs an extra, hard-to-counterfeit layer of protection.

Functionality
The DTC400 is designed to adapt to your changing security needs. It offers a full range of field-upgradeable smart card encoding modules, so you can add functionality to your basic photo IDs. Start with a magnetic stripe encoder, for example, then upgrade later on to more advanced smart card technologies for controlling access to facilities, networks and information. The DTC400 can also be networked for distributed card issuance applications.

Card issuance
We can’t say it enough: An ID card is only as secure as the system that issued it. And Fargo makes the world’s most secure card identity systems. They’re built on a common technology platform — Fargo’s exclusive SecureMark® Technology — that reduces vulnerabilities throughout the system, from storing blank ribbons to password-protecting printers. When you combine the DTC400 printer/encoder with our Print Security Suite™ software and SecureVault™ materials management system, you surround your card issuance process with exceptionally high-level protection.
