ColorID Bridge Solution

Allowing you to “bridge” the gap between your contactless cards, printer & database.
Bridge enables the appropriate reader in an HID-Fargo HDP5000 reverse transfer printer to read a contactless card inline and send card data to any ODBC-compliant database. Bridge is built to run independently of virtually any type of ID production software. It includes built-in error checking that helps eliminate errors and saves you the step of having to manually read each card  after it has been printed.
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?

​Bridge enables the appropriate reader in an HID-Fargo HDP5000 reverse transfer printer to read a contactless card inline and send card data to any ODBC-compliant database. Bridge is built to run independently of virtually any type of ID production software. It includes built-in error checking that helps eliminate errors and saves you the step of having to manually read each card after it has been printed.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

​- High Definition Reverse-Transfer Printing, With Any ID Software – You gain the combined advantages of reverse-transfer, high definition, over-the-edge printing and inline contactless card reading, without having to change your ID software.
- Labor Saving – Eliminates the manual step of having to read each contactless card with a desktop reader after the card has been printed.
- More Accurate - Built-in error checking removes the possibility of human error when manually reading cards into your system.
- All In One Printer System – Fully automate your card production workstations, reducing labor costs and possibility of errors.
WHAT IS THE TECHNOLOGY?

​Bridge is compatible with HID Prox, iCLASS and Indala cards. Additional card technologies are available, but please check with your ColorID Account Rep for more details.  Bridge supports the HID-Fargo HDP5000 reverse-transfer printer and runs on Windows XP and Windows 7, 32 & 64 Bit.

Bridge is normally installed remotely by ColorID Engineers, who will configure it to communicate with any ODBC-compliant database. Bridge will run parallel to, but not interfere with most ID software applications, including Datacard ID Works.

The HDP5000 printer requires an internal reader to read your contactless cards. ColorID is an HID-Fargo Authorized Service & Support Center with the ability to upgrade a new or existing printer to the correct specifications. Contact us for a quote to upgrade your existing HDP5000 with an internal contactless reader.
