Using the Lamination tab
Use this option to control specific Printer functions. These options allow you to control the
Printer's Lamination process. (Note: When no Laminator is detected, the Lamination tab is
active but all functions are grayed out.)
Important! FARGO Card Printers require highly specialized overlaminates to function properly.
To maximize Printer life, reliability, printed card quality and durability, you must use only
FARGO Certified Supplies. For this reason, the FARGO warranty is void, where not prohibited
by law, if you use non-FARGO Certified Supplies. To order additional materials, please contact
an authorized reseller.

Film and PolyGuard
Overlaminates The Card Lamination Module will accept either a Thermal
Transfer overlaminate or a PolyGuard™.
Thermal Transfer Film: The Thermal Transfer Film overlaminate
is a relatively thin material which Covers a card Edge-to-Edge and
provides a medium level of card durability and security.)
PolyGuard Overlaminate: PolyGuard is a much thicker material
which does not Cover Edge-to-Edge, but provides an extremely
high level of card durability and security.
(Note: PolyGuard is available in either a 1.0 or .6 mil thickness
and should always be used for those applications requiring the
highest degree of card durability and security. Available in clear or
holographic patch)
