Reading the Serial Numbers on a Fargo Printer

The purpose of this section is to provide updated instructions for reading serial numbers on a
Fargo Printer.

Finding out when a Fargo Card Printer was manufactured

You can determine when your card Printer was manufactured by reading directly from the
serial number (affixed to your card Printer).
1. Year Built: The first two digits in the serial number indicate the year that the Printer was
manufactured.
2. Week Built: The second two digits indicate the week.
3. Numeric Order: The last four digits indicate the sequence number for the numeric order
in which the Printer's were built.

Reviewing Example No. 1: Serial Number A9280224

1. A9280224: The first two digits in the serial number indicate the year the Printer was built
(e.g., the letter and digit A1 indicate the year 2009).
