Review: The Fargo line of printers are known for their quality and affordability. I upgraded from the DTC1000 due to compatibility issues with Windows 10 and so far the 1250e has kept up the pace and continues to keep the Fargo flag flying high.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could you technically print one side, and throw the card back in the hopper upside down to print on the other side?**
A: Fargo does not recommend that as you could damage your printhead in doing so.

**Q: Can this printer print on printable hid access cards ?**
A: Yes it can.

**Q: Can we print bar code with this model ?**
A: Yes you can. You would need to use a software program that is capable of generating the bar-code, but the printer itself is ready out-of-the-box.

**Q: Description says Dual-sided printing module but title says single side. Which will I receive?**
A: This is a single-sided printer.

### ⭐ Review
*by J***T on 17 December 2019*

This card printer comes with a CD-ROM to install software (may as well be a floppy disk). I have a Mac and was unable to get drivers to install properly because Mac drivers available online are from 2015. This product is NOT compatible with Mac computers bought within the past five years.
