In today’s world, wireless technology is often introduced into existing products in order to provide increased mobility. Until recently, badge making was confined to the length of the USB cable connecting between a computer and ID card printer. Technological advances in plastic card printing and software have helped “cut-the-cord” with the use of wireless badge printing. Current badge printers often have the ability to add-on wireless functionality, on top of USB/Ethernet connectivity. This added feature is ideal for situations requiring remote printing such as on-site deliveries of membership cards, student ID’s, as well as event organizations. The technology behind this feature is 802.11b/g wireless connectivity. This relies on existing network infrastructure, and manufacturers have yet to release a ID badge maker utilizing Bluetooth.
