The IdentiSys ID Core Original CS-201 ID Card Printer Software is a powerful credential management solution designed for organizations that require more advanced functionality than entry-level ID card software. Building upon the capabilities of the CS-101 edition, CS-201 adds database connectivity, photo management tools, expanded barcode support, and enhanced cardholder record management to streamline badge issuance and credential production.
The original ID Core platform was developed as a versatile credential management system compatible with ID card printers from multiple manufacturers and available for both Windows and Mac operating systems. The software enables organizations to design professional identification cards, manage cardholder information, capture photos and signatures, generate barcodes, and print personalized credentials from a centralized environment.
The CS-201 edition includes all functionality found in CS-101, including card design tools, predefined templates, signature acquisition, barcode generation, magnetic stripe encoding support, database views, and cardholder record management. In addition, CS-201 introduces support for local Microsoft Access and SQLite database connections, allowing organizations to better manage cardholder information and streamline credential issuance processes.
A major enhancement in CS-201 is support for database photo storage and the FaceCrop recognition tool. These features help organizations automate photo management and improve the consistency of credential photos across employee badges, student IDs, membership cards, and other identification applications. By storing photos directly within the database, organizations can simplify record management and improve long-term credential administration.
The software also expands barcode capabilities with support for 2D barcodes in addition to traditional barcode formats. This allows organizations to incorporate additional data into credentials for access control, attendance tracking, membership verification, asset tracking, and other identification applications.
CS-201 is particularly well suited for organizations that have outgrown basic badge printing software but do not yet require advanced smart card encoding, biometric enrollment, or enterprise licensing capabilities. The platform provides a strong foundation for professional credential management while maintaining the ease of use that made the original ID Core software popular among businesses, schools, healthcare organizations, and membership programs.
As credentialing requirements evolve, organizations can upgrade to CS-301 for RFID and smart card encoding, fingerprint acquisition, advanced automation features, and operational logging, or to CS-401 for DESFire support, web print server functionality, and network licensing capabilities.
The IdentiSys ID Core Original CS-201 ID Card Printer Software is an excellent solution for organizations seeking advanced database management, photo storage, 2D barcode support, and scalable credential issuance capabilities within a professional ID card software platform.
