Connectivity options include parallel and USB interfaces, facilitating integration with various office systems.

The Fargo 55100 offers reliable and fast ID card printing suitable for medium-sized office environments. Its ability to print in full color and monochrome adds flexibility for various printing needs. The thermal transfer printing process ensures the durability and longevity of printed cards, resistant to wear and environmental factors. User-friendly operation is supported by straightforward controls and software compatibility with major Windows operating systems. The printer's compact design saves space on office desks. Maintenance is simplified with easy access to consumables and replaceable print ribbons.

The Fargo 55100 is limited by its relatively low print resolution of 300 dpi compared to modern printers offering 600 dpi or higher. It lacks built-in networking capabilities, requiring external print server setups for shared usage. The device does not support dual-sided (duplex) printing natively, requiring manual card flipping for the opposite side. Print speed is moderate, which could be a bottleneck in high-volume printing environments. Media compatibility is limited mainly to standard CR80 PVC cards, restricting use with other card compositions. The printer's driver support may be limited on newer operating systems given its release era.
