Reading the Serial Numbers on a Fargo Printer
The purpose of this section is to provide updated instructions for reading serial numbers on a
Fargo Printer.
Finding out when a Fargo Card Printer was manufactured
You can determine when your card Printer was manufactured by reading directly from the
serial number (affixed to your card Printer).
1. Year Built: The first two digits in the serial number indicate the year that the Printer was
manufactured.
2. Week Built: The second two digits indicate the week.
3. Numeric Order: The last four digits indicate the sequence number for the numeric order
in which the Printer’s were built.
Reviewing Example No. 1: Serial Number A1280224
1. A1280224: The first two digits in the serial number indicate the year the Printer was built
(e.g., the letter and digit A1 indicate the year 2001).

0224: The third and fourth digits in the serial number indicate the week the Printer
was built (e.g., the digits 28 indicate week 28 of that year).
