Fargo HDP6600 FAQ
How do I download and install the Fargo HDP6600 driver?
Use the Printer driver button above for Windows. Run the installer, then connect the printer by USB and turn it on. When the printer shows up in Printers & scanners, print a test card to confirm everything works.
How do I update the Fargo HDP6600 firmware?
Most printers rarely need it. Update only if our support team asks you to, or to fix a known issue. Download it from Firmware update above, then install Fargo Workbench from the same HID page. In Workbench open Update Manager, select the printer, choose the firmware file and send it. Keep the printer on until it restarts.
Do not turn off or unplug the printer while it updates. If you would rather not do it alone, call us and a technician will run it with you over remote support.
Which versions of Windows does the Fargo HDP6600 work with?
All of them, including Windows 11. The Fargo HDP6600 driver and Bodno ID Card Software both work on any version of Windows. Get them from the downloads above.
Does the Fargo HDP6600 work on a Mac?
No. The Fargo HDP6600 works with Windows computers only. If you print from a Mac, call us at (732) 987-5300 and we will go over Mac-compatible printers.
How do I print a test card?
Print a test page from the driver: Devices and Printers › right-click the Fargo HDP6600 › Printer properties › Print Test Page. If it won’t print, check the printer display for an error and clear any stuck jobs in the print queue.
If the test card prints cleanly but your cards do not, the problem is in the software or the card design, not the printer.
Which ribbons and cards does the Fargo HDP6600 use?
Ribbons and film made for the Fargo HDP6600:
- Fargo 84900 Retransfer Film for HDP6600 - Clear - 1,500 prints $120.00
- Fargo 84911 Color Ribbon - YMCK $299.00
- Fargo 84912 Color Ribbon - YMCKK $289.00

Cards: CR80 PVC cards, 30 to 40 mil. Most badges are printed on 30 mil cards, like our Bodno CR80 30 mil PVC cards. Keep them in the box until you load them, because dust and fingerprints show up on the print.

Which replacement parts can I order for the Fargo HDP6600?
Not sure which part you need? Send us a photo and the serial number from the label on the printer.
What do the messages on the Fargo HDP6600 screen mean?
The Fargo HDP6600 uses two supplies: the print ribbon and the clear HDP film that transfers the image to the card. Most messages point to one of them.
- Unable to Feed Card: check there are cards, that they aren’t stuck together, and that the thickness setting matches them.
- Card Jam: clear the card from the print or flip area.
- Check Film, Film Align Error, Film Break/Jam: the film can’t move. Look for a break or something blocking it.
- Film Low, Film Out, Invalid Film: replace the film, or check the right film is installed.
- Calibrate Film, Calibrate Ribbon: press Cancel, then run the film or ribbon calibration.
- Calibrate Failed: check the film is installed correctly, with no ribbon in the printer, and try again.
- Ribbon Break/Jam: clear the jam, or tape the ribbon back onto the take-up core.
- Clean Printer: replace the cleaning roller tape, then clean the feed rollers and printhead.
- Please Open Film Drawer: the printer wants a film roller cleaning. Open the front door and slide the film drawer out.
- Empty Reject Bin: remove the rejected cards. Shred them if they hold personal data.
How do I set up the Fargo HDP6600 on our network?
Ethernet is built in. Plug the printer into your network (not straight into a computer), turn it on and wait up to a minute for it to get an address. On the printer display open Info and scroll to the IP address.
When you install the HID driver, choose Network Connection (Ethernet) and enter that IP address. To set a fixed address, type http:// and the IP address into a browser to open the printer’s web page, then go to Network Settings › TCP/IP. Changes need the admin login.
Still can’t connect? Check the green light by the network port is on and the amber one flickers, then open Command Prompt and type ping followed by the IP address. If ping fails, the computer and printer are on different networks or subnets. Your IT team can reserve the address so it doesn’t change.
I have a new computer. What do I install?
Three things, in this order: the printer driver, Bodno ID Card Software, then a test card. Activate the software with the code from your purchase email. If activation does not go through, see Activation & license help or call us.
What should I send support so they can help fast?
- Your printer model and the serial number from the label on the printer
- A photo of the card or the error message
- Your Windows version
- USB or Ethernet
- Your order number, so we can check your coverage, including TotalCare
