The Go Green Upgrade is a required action for Datacard® SP, CP and FP Series Card Printers.

Here’s why.

With only a few months remaining in 2011, the time to Go Green is now. The firmware of your Datacard® SP, CP and FP Series printers must be updated before the end of the year to make them compatible with the new RFID chips embedded in Datacard® Certified Supplies.

If the printer is one of the following models WITH a firmware version below 20.0, it will need a firmware update:

Datacard® SP25 card printer and Datacard® SP25 Plus card printer
Datacard® SP35 card printer and Datacard® SP35 Plus card printer
Datacard® SP55 card printer and Datacard® SP55 Plus card printer
Datacard® SP55 kiosk card printer
Datacard® SP60 card printer
Datacard® SP75 card printer and Datacard® SP75 Plus card printer
Datacard® CP40™ card printer and Datacard® CP40™ Plus card printer
Datacard® CP60™ card printer and Datacard® CP60™ Plus card printer
Datacard® CP80™ card printer and Datacard® CP80™ Plus card printer
Datacard® FP65™ financial card printer
Datacard® FP65i™ financial card printer

All of the new supplies that feature patented Datacard® Intelligent Supplies Technology™ carry the new RFID chip. These new state-of-the-art supplies deliver the same superior print quality you expect from Datacard Group, plus:

Biodegradable supply cores
Lower supply costs
Improved operation

Datacard® Certified Supplies with the old chip are being phased out and will not be available in 2012. New supplies will not work in printers that have old firmware. That’s why you need to perform the Go Green Upgrade now to prepare your Datacard printers for operation with the new supplies.

Once your Datacard printer has been updated, it can use either old or new supplies, so you can deplete your existing supplies inventory first.
