Installing the Print Ribbon Cartridge
FARGO Direct-to-Card Printers require highly specialized supplies to function properly.
• The FARGO DTC1250e, DTC1000Me, and DTC4250e Card Printers use a one piece, disposable
ribbon cartridge system.
• To maximize printer durability, reliability and printed card quality, you must use only FARGO-certified
supplies.
• For this reason, your FARGO warranty is void, where not prohibited by law, if you use non-FARGO-
certified supplies.
• Printer cleaning is recommended with each ribbon change to ensure quality printed cards.
• Resin-only print ribbons consist of a continuous roll of a single resin color. No protective overlay panel
(O) is provided because resin images do not require the protection of an overlay.
