Zebra Card Printers Deliver Student Identification
System for Lisbon University

Global-ID, a Portugal-based specialist provider of plastic card solutions, and Zebra Card Printer reseller since 2004, has

supplied Zebra card printers as part of an ID solution to Lusofona University in Lisbon. The university is now able to print

its own encoded student ID cards to boost campus security and facilities management for the university’s 10,000 card

holders.

The University is part of the Lisbon University Core and is made up of a number of education establishments. Students

have access to a variety of educational and recreational facilities – such as the library, laboratories, workshops, IT rooms,

and lecture halls – to which access needs to be controlled. In all, Lusofona University has taken nine Zebra P330i card

printers with the capacity to encode additional information in the magnetic stripe, and seven Zebra P205 units to produce

visitor cards.

Background

The need for public buildings to be accessed only by those authorised to do so

is now commonplace in every major town and city across the world. Nowhere

is this requirement more acute than on university campuses where opening

hours for facilities often extend into the evening to meet the study requirements

and leisure lifestyles of students. Lusofona University has more than 9000

students, 1000 academic staff, and they needed to tighten security by

producing encoded cards on site.

The University contacted Global ID a few months ahead of their intended

purchase to review the available printer options. Although this was a

competitive tendering situation the customer was already using Zebra Card

Printers, but recognised the need to expand their internal card printing

capability if they were to manage student ID the way they wanted. After

reviewing the available options, the University settled on Zebra card printers as

the best solution for printing student ID cards with an encoded magnetic stripe.

This task is easily accomplished by the Zebra P330i, the latest generation of

the company’s most popular card printer.

Solution

In all, Global-ID supplied Lusofona University with nine Zebra P330i card

printers and seven Zebra P205 card printers together with all necessary
