The HDP 5000 Printer Firmware Upgrades are described below.

• Added support for smart card encoding via a single Ethernet cable. This new feature is available with any printer or upgrade kit which includes an OMNIKEY 5121 encoder. Simply order a printer or an upgrade kit with a OMINKEY 5121 encoder installed and it will have the necessary hardware. o Please note that to upgrade a printer in the field to encode smart cards via a single Ethernet cable an end-user will not only need to order a new encoder module, but they will also be required to upgrade their firmware to Version 3.6.0.0 o The OMNIKEY 5125 encoder does not currently support this feature

• The upgrade part numbers as well as the printer part numbers have not been changed. If a partner orders a unit or upgrade kit with the 5121 encoder it will come with the ability to encode via a single Ethernet cable.

• Fixed the Holographic INTM position relative to the Hologram which needed more control.

• Reduced the magnetic card verification errors.

HID Global is pleased to announce the introduction of several new enhancements to Persona C30e and Fargo DTC400e printers
The new enhancements, available as free downloads, advance the encoding functionality and improve the overall experience of using Fargo printers.

Improved control over magnetic strip encoding – With the new Raw Binary Magnetic Encoding option, you have better control of magnetic stripe encoding, including options to add leading zeros or reverse the bit order.

Improved JIS ll Magnetic Encoding capability – JIS ll Magnetic Encoding support has been improved to support a wider range of characters, including 0x7e (“~”).

More efficient rewritable print jobs – With dual-sided rewritable card support, the printer enables users with dual-sided rewritable cards to erase and print on the front and back of the cards in a single print job, rather than having to send the card through the printer twice.

Broader Microsoft Operating System support – The driver is now certified for use with Microsoft Vista 32-bit operating software.
