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). About Fargo Founded in 1974, Fargo
