Simple, reliable and affordable

The incredibly easy way to personalize high-quality plastic ID cards.

• Optional modules encode data for contact and contactless smart cards plus proximity and magnetic stripe cards for access control and other applications.
• Eliminates hassles of loading ribbons and cleaning rollers with an easy-to-load integrated ribbon cartridge.
• Print on card as thin as 9 mil and as thick as 40 mil. This includes the new thin plastic cards all the way up to clamshell proximity and smart cards with embedded electronics.
• Ideal for small to mid-sized businesses, K-12 schools, local government, and membership and customer loyalty programs.
• The Persona M30e is designed to personalize plastic cards with monochrome text, photos, bar codes or magnetic stripes, quickly and economically. It's ideal for on-the-spot issuance applications such as membership, library and customer loyalty cards, and visitor badges, where personalized data is added to pre-printed color card

Making high-quality plastic ID cards is incredibly easy, with the Persona C30e Colour ID Card Printer.

It’s so easy to operate, there’s virtually no learning curve or maintenance. Time to change the ribbon? The ribbon cartridge contains both the printer ribbon and card-cleaning roller all in one disposable cartridge. Just slide it into the printer, and start printing. The Persona C30e prints text, logos, bar codes, signatures, and photos in full colour. And the C30e dual sided printer saves time and reduces card handling by automatically flipping each card to print both sides in one pass. Add an optional magnetic stripe encoding module to increase the versatility of your cards.

The new features address global market requirements, including:

• Improved control over magnetic stripe encoding – With the new Raw Binary Magnetic Encoding option, users are in better control of their magnetic stripe encoding, including options to add leading zeros or reverse the bit order (to encode cards for use in non-ISO card systems, such as VingCard).



• Improved JIS II Magnetic Encoding compatibility – JIS II Magnetic Encoding support has been improved to support a wider range of characters, including 0x7e (“~”). (The part number to order the JIS II upgrade kit is 054309 for the C30e/M30e platform, and 054314 for the DTC400e.)



• More efficient rewritable print jobs – With dual sided rewritable card support, the printer now allows 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. Certification from this leading operating system broadens the market potential for Fargo card printers.
