Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
Fargo Electronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:FRGO) today announced
the launch of its Software Development Kit (SDK), a growing collection
of software development tools including code samples and online help.
The SDK makes it easy for most smart card applications to control the
necessary encoding functions of Fargo printer/encoders.
"As Fargo products grow more sophisticated, we're dedicated to
keeping application development as easy as possible," says John Ekers,
Fargo's Director of Product Marketing for Systems and Software.
"Whether you're developing a stand-alone badging program or an
integrated security system, the SDK lets you tap into our
industry-leading card issuance technologies."
The SDK provides the flexible development tools that will benefit
vertical markets such as access control, health care and large
corporate enterprises.
Using code from the Fargo SDK, programmers can read and write
smart cards, select a card hopper, password-protect printer/encoders,
run diagnostics and more. The SDK also offers:
-- Ease of use: An easy-to use, high-level command set controls
card printing and diagnostics, upgrades, audits, and enables
printer security.
-- Printer/encoder abstraction: The SDK's high-level interface
abstracts devices so complex functions can be performed with
just a few lines of code - not hundreds.
-- Positive command confirmation: The function returns a status
indicating a properly executed command, a successfully
completed operation or the nature of an error.
-- Forward compatibility: Using the Fargo SDK helps ensure
software applications will be compatible with future Fargo
printer/encoders.
The Fargo SDK helps control and monitor the operation of Fargo
printer/encoders such as the DTC400, the DTC550 and the HDP600. In
addition, the SDK includes secure issuance functionality supported by
Print Security Suite(TM) and Print Security Manager(TM).
