Entrust Datacard 532659-001 Multi-Hopper Upgrade Kit, R4 TO R5

The Entrust Artista CR805 Multi-Hopper Upgrade Kit R4 to R5 (532659-001) is a genuine hardware upgrade solution designed to convert compatible Entrust Artista CR805 retransfer card printers from an R4 main board configuration to the R5 hardware platform required for multi-hopper functionality.

By enabling support for multi-hopper operation, this upgrade allows organizations to manage multiple card stocks, credential types, or production jobs from a single printer. This added flexibility helps reduce the need for frequent manual card loading and improves efficiency in environments where a variety of credentials are produced regularly.

The upgrade is ideal for organizations expanding their card issuance programs and requiring greater input capacity and workflow flexibility. Applications include employee badge production, access control credentials, government IDs, student identification cards, and other secure credentials that may require different card formats or stock types.

Instead of replacing an existing CR805 printer, this upgrade provides a cost-effective way to enhance current equipment capabilities and extend the value of an existing retransfer printing investment. By transitioning the printer from the R4 to R5 hardware platform, organizations can support more advanced card handling workflows while maintaining their current printing infrastructure.

Installation should be completed as part of an approved service process, with a qualified technician recommended to ensure proper configuration and operation. As a genuine Entrust upgrade component, the CR805 Multi-Hopper Upgrade Kit provides reliable performance and compatibility for supported printer configurations.
