Ecologically Responsible
Datacard has embraced the idea of going green with the CD800 printer and supplies. The
printers are ENERGY STAR® compliant, and have a soft power button to help reduce power consumption. Supplies used in the printers feature EcoPure biodegradable ribbon cores. The packaging and plastics used for the printer body are all recyclable.
Easy-to-Use, Soft-Touch Display Panel
The standard soft-touch control panel and LCD screen with intuitive icons assist
users in operating the printer. Icons alert users when the supply is low (a
user-adjustable alert), when card stock is out or when there is an error
condition. Users can change network settings, the LCD backlight, K power and
magnetic stripe coercivity by using the LCD panel.
Convenient, Browser-Based Printer Manager
The browser-based Printer Manager allows users to check printer status and control printer settings, all in a single interface. It is no longer necessary to remember what settings are controlled by the driver, toolbox, or what settings are updated by printer diagnostics. Simply enter the printer Internet IP address in your web browser, and the Printer Manager provides a single source of easy access to review and update settings, run a cleaning cycle or check supplies status. The flexible Printer Manager enables users to set their own alert status for things such as low supply warnings, and desired cleaning cycle intervals.
Ergonomically Designed Supply Cartridge
The ergonomically designed supply cartridge drops in from the top of the printer and holds the ribbon plus a drop-in cleaning roller. This design makes it easier to remember to replace the cleaning roller with each change of ribbon. Replacement cleaning rollers and a cleaning card are included in every ribbon kit to make maintenance easy and convenient.

(one-sided), 165 cards (two-sided) and up to 1,000 monochrome cards per hour. Maximize your efficiency with the industry’s fastest desktop card printer.
Industry-Leading Image Quality
Reproduce intricate graphics such as state seals and school emblems with the enhanced print modes. Resolutions up to 300 ×1200 dpi—an industry first—mean that fine text, 2D bar codes and complex two-byte characater sets print sharp and bleed-free.
Anti-Jam Card Handling
The CD800 printer features an all-new, exclusive card picking design, TruePick technology, to help ensure extremely reliable card picking. Datacard understands that customers rely on their printer to perform in busy times. With TruePick technology, customers can have greater confidence that their print jobs will be processed smoothly and efficiently, every time.
Flexible Connectivity (Standard Ethernet)
Select whichever connectivity suits the application. Both Ethernet and USB connectivity
come standard with the CD800. Standard Ethernet provides flexibility for users to fit the printer into their environment at a value price.
As the printer will operate only one type of connectivity at a time, if both Ethernet and USB connections are hooked up, the printer will default to Ethernet connectivity. The Ethernet port features an activity light to show the port is actively communicating.
Improved Print Quality
Optimized printing technology between the print ribbon, printhead and printing algorithms provides a smooth, consistent printing result. This means that the color consistency across the surface of the card remains consistent from the leading to trailing edge, as the card is transported smoothly along the card path. In addition, the printer is designed to maintain an even printing consistency, so the density of the first card printed looks the same as the last card in a batch print job.
TrueMatch™ Color Matching
The CD800 card printer leads the industry by providing TrueMatch color printing that conforms to the same color standard used by Microsoft and Hewlett Packard in their viewing devices such as monitors and LCD screens. TrueMatch emulates the internet standard sRGB color space.
Intuitive XPS Card Printer Driver
The all-new XPS Card Printer driver simplifies the printer installation process by its helpful step-by-step instructions. The My XPS Printer icon, installed with the driver, provides information tailored to basic or advanced users, and provides a one-stop location for accessing Microsoft® software printer interfaces. The driver uses the latest Microsoft XPS-based architecture as its base for efficient, fast driver operation.
