RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc. HDP5000 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 1.5) 2Reviewing the HDP5000 Sequence of Operations The following sequence describes a dual-sided, full color print job with magnetic encoding. Step Process 1The File information is received from the PC. 2The Heater warms up and/or maintains the heat on the hot Roller using the RTD (Resistive Thermal Device) to help maintain the desired temp. 3The DC Motor and Stepper Motor turn ON and run until a card is seen by the card Sensor, which will cause the Card Input Motor to stop. The Stepper will continue to run a certain number of steps to position the card under the Card Feed/Position Sensor. 4For a magnetic print job, the Stepper will continue moving the card until the trailing edge is positioned under the Mag Head. All stop. 5Stepper will turn ON in reverse direction and encode card. All stop. 6Stepper will again turn on and position the trailing edge of the card under the Mag Head. All stop. 7Stepper will turn ON in reverse direction and verify data encoded onto mag stripe. 8Stepper continues transporting card until the trailing edge is positioned under the Card Feed/Position Sensor. All stop. 9The Ribbon Drives turn ON and move until the correct panel is found by the Print Ribbon Sensor. All stop. (Note: The Print Ribbon Encoder is active during this step.) This step occurs simultaneously with Step 10 (below). 10 The Film Drives turn ON until the Film is positioned with the Film Print Alignment Sensor. (Note: This is the closest Sensor to the Print Platen Roller.) All stop. (Note: The Film Ribbon Encoder is active during this step.) 11 The Headlift Motor engages, moving the Printhead down until Headlift Sensor is activated. All stop. 12 The Fan turns ON as required to keep head cool.
RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc. HDP5000 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 1.5) 313 The Ribbon Drives, Film Drive and Print Platen Stepper turn ON and the Printhead burns the image data until the image data is depleted. All stop. (Note: The Ribbon Encoders and Film Encoders are active during this step.) 14 The Headlift Motor engages, moving the Printhead up until the Headlift Sensor is activated. All stop. The Film Drive reverses the Film Position Sensor to print over the image (again). 15 Repeat Steps 9 to 14 for the appropriate number of color/heat seal panels. 16 The Film Drives turn ON to rewind the printed portion of the Film into position at the heated Transfer Roller using the Lamination Film Alignment Sensor. 17 If the heater is not at the required temperature yet, the job will pause. 18 Stepper engages to move the card to a position directly over the Transfer Roller. The Card Feed/Position Sensor determines card edge and number of steps to position card. All stop. 19 The Headlift Motor turns ON to raise the Transfer Roller and will stop when the Headlift Sensor is activated. All stop. 20 The Stepper and Film Drive engage to laminate the printed Film onto the card. They will turn off after a given number of steps based on the position given by the card Sensor. All stop. (Note: The Film Encoder is active during this step.) 21 The Headlift Motor turns ON to lower the Transfer Roller, stopping when the Headlift Sensor is activated. 22 The Film Drive and Stepper turn ON for a given number of clicks based on Film Encoder, until the film is released. 23 The Stepper turns ON to move the card into Flipper Module to flip the card to the opposite side. After flipping the card is transported back to the Card Feed/Position Sensor to repeat Steps 9 to 14. Upon completion of print all print cycles the card is transported to the Output Hopper (based on steps from a known from Flipper Card Position Sensor). All stop. 24 The Heater is maintained at a set temperature by the RTD when the Printer is ON. The cooling fan is ON when the Printhead is ON or hot.

(Note: The RFID determine the presence of a roll of lamination.) 3The Card Sensor checks for the presence of a card and ejects it if found. Reviewing the Lamination Module Sequence of Operations The LAM sequence of operations begins after printing has occurred with the Card Printer. Step Process 1The card is fed onto the Lamination Module. 2The card is fed to the Card Position Sensor. 3The Lamination Take-up Motor begins cycling until the Lamination Sensor detects the mark. 4The Card Feed Motor activates to place the leading edge of the card on the Lam Roller. 5The Lam Roller Lift Motor cycles until the Transfer Roller Lift Sensor detects the roller is down. 6The Card Feed Motor and the Lamination Drive Motor activate for the length of the card. 7The Lam Roller Lift Motor cycles until the Lam Roller Lift Sensor detects the roller is up.

RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc. HDP5000 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 1.5) 17Functional Specifications The Card Printer utilizes two different, yet closely related printing technologies to achieve its remarkable print quality for dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer. The following describes how each of these technologies works: Function Description Dye-Sublimation Dye-Sublimation is the print method the Card Printer uses to produce smooth, continuous-tone images that look photographic. (Note: This process uses a dye-based Ribbon roll that is partitioned by a number of consecutive color Panels.) Process colors: The Panels are grouped in a repeating Series of three process colors - yellow, magenta and cyan (YMC), along the entire length of the Print Ribbon. Panels: The Printer always prints the yellow Panel first, followed by the magenta Panel and the cyan Panel. Printhead: As the Print Ribbon passes beneath the Printhead, hundreds of thermal elements within the Printhead heat the dyes on the Ribbon. (Note: When these dyes are heated, they vaporize and diffuse into the surface of the film and then the film is laminated onto the card surface. A separate pass is made for each of the three color Panels on the Ribbon.) Color Shades: By combining the colors of each Panel and by varying the heat used to transfer these colors, it is possible to print up to 16.7 million different shades of color. (Note: This blends one color smoothly into the next, producing photo-quality images with absolutely no dot pattern.) Dye-Diffusion Thermal Transfer: It is the process of heating a dye suspended in a cellulous substrate until the dye can flow, diffusing into the dye receptive surface of the card or InTM. This produces the image in the surface of the card. Inhibit Panel: The Inhibit or Idesignation under YMCKI indicates the ability to prevent the transfer of film to the card surface. Users can select these Ribbon types to prevent film from transferring over security features, signature panel or other areas of special interest on the card surface Fluorescing Panel: The fluorescing panel (F) will allow you to print a standard or one-to-one personalized grayscale fluorescing image that is completely invisible until exposed to ultraviolet light.

RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc. HDP5000 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 1.5) 18Printer Components: Resin Thermal Transfer to USB Interface Port Component Description Resin Thermal Transfer Resin Thermal Transfer is the print method the Printer uses to print sharp black text and crisp bar codes that can be read by both infrared and visible-light bar code scanners. Like dye-sublimation, this process uses the same thermal Printhead to transfer color to a film from a resin-only Print Ribbon or the resin black (K) Panel of a full color Print Ribbon. The difference, however, is that solid dots of resin-based ink are transferred and fused to the surface of the film and then the film is laminated onto the card surface. (Note: This produces very durable, saturated printing.) Card Cartridge Load blank cards into this Cartridge. Card Output Hopper Stores 200 cards. Card Lamination Module Works in conjunction with the Printer to apply a variety of different overlaminates to printed cards, providing increased card durability and security. (Note: When printing a batch of cards, the Printer can be encoding and printing one card while the Lamination Module laminates another card.) LCD Display Displays the current status of the Printer. Printhead The component of the Printer that actually does the printing. This component is fragile and must not be bumped or touched with anything other than a cleaning pen. Softkey Buttons Current function is displayed above the button and will change depending upon the Printer's mode of operation. Card Cleaning Roller Automatically cleans cards for higher print quality. (Note: Replace this Roller after every 1000+ cards or as needed.) Power Port Connect to the included power supply. USB Interface Port Connect to the Windows PC USB cable, LAN Connector.
RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc. HDP5000 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 1.5) 19Printer Components: LCD and Softkey Control Pad The Printer provides a two line, thirty-two (32) characters LCD Display that can communicate helpful information about the Printer's operation. The bottom line of the LCD Display will always be used to communicate the current function of the Printer's softkey buttons. This section describes how the LCD Display and Softkey Control Pad work together. Component Description Softkey Buttons The Printer has two softkey buttons that appear below the LCD Display. Their current function is indicated by the words appearing above them. This function will change according to the Printer's current mode of operation. •Press the corresponding softkey button under the choice you want to select. If no word appears above a particular button, this indicates it has no function in that particular mode of operation. LCD Display The Printer's LCD Display will change according to the Printer's current mode of operation. Ready / Printer Open Screens Once the Printer has finished its system check and with the Printer closed, the Printer will display Printer Ready to indicate that the Printer is ready for operation. (Note: The Printer will stay in this mode until it receives a print job or it is turned OFF.) •If the Printer is opened, the Cover is Open screen will appear. Press either the Forward or Back buttons to move the Printer's card path Rollers in the indicated direction. (Note: This is helpful when cleaning the Printer or if clearing jammed media.) •All rollers will move even if the Lam cover is not opened. Component Description Print Status Screen During operation, the LCD will indicate the current Print Status by showing you the area of the Printer that is active. It does this by displaying the following messages: •FEEDING: Indicates that cards are being fed into the Printer. •FLIPPING: Indicates that the card is being transported to the Flipper Module. •ENCODING: Indicates the encode station is encoding a card (appears only if you are using a Printer with an optional built-in Encoding Module). •PRINTING: Indicates the Printer is printing onto the HDP film. •RECIEVING DATA: Indicates that the Printer is receiving data from the PC.
RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc.

HDP5000 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 1.5) 21Printer Components: Print Ribbons The Card Printer utilizes both dye-sublimation and/or resin thermal transfer methods to print images (print to film and transfer film to card). Since the dye-sublimation and the resin thermal transfer print methods each provide their own unique benefits, Print Ribbons are available in 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 =Heat Seal Panel =Dye-Sublimation Fluorescent Panel
RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc. HDP5000 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 1.5) 22Printer Components: Blank Cards Caution: Never run cards with a contaminated, dull or uneven surface through the Printer. Printing onto such cards will ultimately lead to poor print quality. Always store the card stock in its original packaging or in a clean, dust-free container. Do not print onto cards that have been dropped or soiled. Type Description Card Size These Card Printers accept standard CR80 sized cards (3.375L x 2.125W /85.6mmL x 54mmW) with a thickness of 30 mil to 50 mil (.030/.762mm). Card Design The Printer will print onto any card with a clean, level and polished PVC surface. (Important: Composite PVC is recommended over straight PVC for the best results and for ISO card specification compliance. Single-side straight PVC does not conform to ISO compliance at this time.) The Printer will print onto any card with a clean, level and polished PVC surface. 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. Some types of Proximity cards, for example, have an uneven surface which will inhibit consistent color transfer. Likewise, some smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards surface, which also results in poor color transfer. UltraCard stock Due to the importance of using high-quality blank cards, a factory-approved card stock called UltraCard™ is available and recommended for best results. UltraCard stock has a glossy PVC laminate on top and bottom and is optically inspected to provide the cleanest, most scratch and debris-reduced cards possible. Two types of these cards are available: UltraCard and UltraCard Premium III. UltraCard stock has a PVC core and offers medium card durability. Recommended: UltraCard Premium III stock has a 40% polyester core and offers high durability. Both types of UltraCards produce printed images with a glossy, photo-quality finish.

RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc. HDP5000 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 1.5) 24Printer Components: Transfer Roller Danger: The Printer’s Transfer Roller can reach temperatures exceeding 350 degree F (175 C). Use extreme caution when operating the Transfer Roller. Never touch the Transfer Roller unless the Printer Power has been turned off for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Type Description Controls Both the Printer itself and the Printer’s software Driver control the built-in Transfer Roller. Temperature Adjustment To change the temperature of the Transfer Roller, adjust its temperature through the Image Transfer Tab within the Printer Driver setup window. Once adjusted, the new temperature settings will be sent down with the next print job along with the rest of the Printer Driver information. New Temperature Setting Before printing begins, the Transfer Roller will automatically adjust itself to the new temperature setting. (Note: This new temperature setting will remain programmed within the Printer until it is once again changed within the Printer Driver or until the Printer is turned OFF.) Whenever the Printer is turned OFF, the Transfer Roller will automatically reset itself and return to its default temperature the next time the Printer is turned ON. Disconnect the Printer's power supply. (Technician Note: Cycling the Printer’s power supply serves to reset the Transfer Roller to its default temperature. The temperature setting within the Printer Driver, however, will stay the same until it is changed.)

RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc. HDP5000 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 1.5) 30Choosing 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 above the unit to accommodate the height of 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 turned OFF 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. Packing the Card Printer for transport The purpose of this section is to provide the User with a specific packing procedure for the HDP5000. (Note: Do not install the Lamination Module to the Printer before shipping. The Lamination Module must be packaged in its own box and shipped separately, then installed at the site. Attaching both modules together before shipping may cause damage.) Follow this instruction to pack the Card Printer for transport. Step Procedure 1Clean the inside of the Printer with deionized air. Wipe it down with a lint-free cloth. 2Clean the Printhead with a Printhead swab. 3Pack the Printer in the original carton and packing materials. 4Be sure to enclose any necessary paperwork, test cards, etc. Formatted: Bullets and Numbering
