Fargo Electronics Inc's new Pro-LX laminating card printer/encoder, with nearly a dozen major design improvements, replaces the Pro-L in Fargo's Professional Series. Fargo card printer/encoders create personalized plastic identification cards complete with digital images and text, lamination, and electronically encoded information. Enhancements to the Pro-LX are a reject card hopper, which gathers improperly encoded cards or cards remaining in the card path during reboot or cancellation; a new card thickness adjustment slider; and a new card cleaning cartridge with replaceable cleaning tape.

Also new are an adjustable card flattener roller, card path guide, “high-tack” silicone feed roller, belt-driven print engine, and improved laminator. A new auto-calibrating ribbon sensor recalibrates after every fourth print, without wasting ribbon panels, while new slotted optical sensors and digital potentiometers improve accuracy and ease of use.
