Reading the Serial Numbers on a FARGO Printer

You can determine when your card printer was manufactured by reading directly from the serial
number (affixed to your card printer).
Example: Serial Number B2050028 (2012)
B2050028: The first two digits in the serial number indicate the year the printer was built (e.g., the
digits B2 indicate the year 2012).
B2050028: The third and fourth digits in the serial number indicate the week the printer was built
(e.g., the digits 05 indicate week 5 of that year).
B2050028: The last four digits indicate the sequence number for the numeric order in which the
printers were built.
