HID 096001 Dual-Side Printing Module for HDP5000e

HID 096001 Dual-Side Printing Module for HDP5000e

The HID 096001 is a dual-side printing module designed specifically for the HDP5000e card printer platform. This upgrade module extends printing capabilities to include simultaneous or sequential dual-sided credential production, enabling security integrators and credential issuance operations to produce complete, professional-grade ID cards, access badges, and secure credentials with content on both card surfaces within a single pass.

Overview

The 096001 module integrates directly into the HDP5000e printer architecture, transforming single-sided output into dual-sided production without requiring separate print passes or external finishing equipment. This capability is essential for high-volume credential operations where front-and-back card designs are standard—such as employee badges with photo identification on the front and access privileges, barcode data, or magnetic stripe encoding on the reverse.

Key Features

• Dual-sided printing capability for HDP5000e card printer systems
• Enables front-and-back credential production in streamlined workflow
• Compatible with HDP5000e printer platform
• Professional-grade output suitable for corporate ID, government badges, and access control credentials
• Reduces production time by eliminating multi-pass printing or manual card flipping
• Supports standard CR-80 card stock dimensions
• Designed for enterprise-scale credential issuance operations

Integration & Compatibility

The HID 096001 module is engineered as a direct hardware upgrade to the HDP5000e platform. Security integrators deploying the HDP5000e printer can add the 096001 module to expand dual-sided printing functionality without replacing the base printer unit. This modular architecture allows organizations to scale credential production capabilities as issuance volume or security requirements increase.

The module works within the HDP5000e's existing print engine, card supply, and output stack systems, ensuring seamless integration into existing credential workflows. No additional software licensing or driver updates are required beyond the base HDP5000e system configuration.

Deployment Scenarios

The dual-sided printing module is particularly valuable for organizations managing large-scale employee credential programs, visitor badge systems, or government/military identification issuance. By enabling complete card personalization in a single printer pass, the 096001 reduces operational overhead, minimizes card waste from handling errors, and accelerates time-to-issuance for urgent credential requests.

For security integrators integrating HDP5000e systems into broader access control ecosystems, the dual-sided capability streamlines backend credential production, reducing manual intervention and supporting higher-throughput issuance centers. The module also supports organizations requiring compliance with specific badge design standards that mandate both-sides personalization.

Pricing for the HID 096001 dual-side printing module ranges from $881.99 to $1,635.88 depending on volume and distributor pricing. Typical lead time is 7–9+ business days from stock.

I've evaluated the HID 096001 module during planning cycles for enterprise credential issuance deployments. This is a straightforward hardware upgrade that delivers immediate workflow efficiency gains, particularly for organizations running high-volume badge programs. The 096001 transforms the HDP5000e from a single-sided printer into a true dual-sided production system, eliminating the operational friction of manual card flipping or running cards through the printer twice.

Technical Highlights:

• Modular Integration: Direct hardware add-on to HDP5000e; no printer replacement required
• Single-Pass Dual-Sided Production: Complete front-and-back card personalization without multi-pass workflows
• CR-80 Card Compatibility: Standard ID card stock support for enterprise badge, government ID, and access credential applications

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify HDP5000e printer firmware is current before module installation; contact HID for compatibility confirmation if running legacy versions
• For high-volume operations (500+ cards/day), ensure adequate card supply inventory and maintenance schedules to maximize uptime
• The 096001 pairs well with HID card design software and issuance management platforms; coordinate procurement timing to avoid production delays

If your organization is currently managing dual-sided credential requirements with manual or external finishing processes, upgrading to the 096001 module typically pays for itself within 6–12 months through labor savings and reduced card waste. This is a reliable, low-risk hardware investment for any HDP5000e-based issuance operation.
