Entrust Datacard 533498-001 Upgrade Kit, Single-Hopper To Multi-Hopper

The Entrust Datacard Artista CR805 Single-Hopper to Multi-Hopper Upgrade Kit (533498-001) is a genuine hardware upgrade designed to expand the card handling capabilities of compatible Entrust Artista CR805 retransfer card printers. This upgrade converts supported single-hopper configurations into multi-hopper systems, allowing organizations to manage different card stocks, credential types, or production batches with greater efficiency.

Designed for CR805 printers equipped with the required R5 main board (531941-00X), this upgrade provides a more flexible card input solution for organizations that need to produce multiple types of credentials from a single printer platform. Multi-hopper operation reduces the need for frequent manual card changes, helping improve productivity in busy card issuance environments.

The upgrade is ideal for organizations managing employee badges, access control credentials, student IDs, visitor cards, membership credentials, and other secure identification programs where different card materials or formats are regularly used. By expanding card input flexibility, teams can better organize production workflows and reduce interruptions during larger print jobs.

The Single-Hopper to Multi-Hopper Upgrade Kit provides a practical way to increase the capabilities of an existing Entrust Artista CR805 investment without replacing the printer. It helps organizations improve operational efficiency while maintaining the high-quality retransfer printing performance of their current system.

Installation is field-upgradeable; however, a qualified technician is recommended to ensure proper installation and compatibility with the existing CR805 configuration.

As a genuine Entrust Datacard accessory, this upgrade kit is designed to provide reliable compatibility with supported Artista CR805 systems and helps organizations create a more scalable and efficient credential issuance workflow.
