Return to printer solutions | Printer drivers, firmware & software
Written By john.fieldsend

This is the latest driver for the older Alto model printers with an ‘E’ in the serial number.

Compatible with both 32 bit and 64 bit Microsoft Windows operating systems:

  • Windows 8
  • Windows 7
  • Vista
  • Windows XP
  • 2003 Server / 2008 Server

My Alto does not have an ‘E’ in the serial number?

The original Driver can be found here:  Alto/Opera/Tempo Non-E Driver V 1.40  But the latest OS supported for that driver is Windows Vista.

If you have a later OS you can follow the steps below to use your non ‘e’ printer with 1.7.2.

Before this v1.7.2 driver can be installed and used with a Non ‘E’ printer there are three simple steps

  1. Upgrade your printers Firmware:   Alto/Opera/Tempo Firmware 4.06  (opens in new tab)
  2. You need to change your Alto printer’s Product ID (PID) from 2000 to 2800.
  3. Caution must be taken when typing the new PID so please see Full Instructions for changing the PID below.

What customers say about our support...

In all fairness, as my question was the opposite of what MagiCard would like to achieve I wasn't really expecting a comprehensive answer. Even though I did not get a solution to my question, the answer was well formulated and even offered some alternatives inducing the effect the alternative would have to the print quality.

Customer service were very patient and helpful when communicating with me to figure out the problem with the machine! Thank you for the repair, printer works again! It did take a little longer than expected to get it back, about three weeks instead of two.

Printer model: Enduro3e

Thank you so much! The ID printer is working great and we really appreciate the honesty of your technicians! We could have easily been billed for repairs that weren't done, as our printer is no longer under warranty, but you didn\'t charge us at all. The technician superstar told me that it was a simple loose wire, which he reattached, and they shipped it back at no charge. Thank you!

Printer model: Pronto

4 stars were given because the printer was literally bought a month and a half ago and instead of just swapping it out with a new one, we had to go through the manufacturers warranty process. I will say, from the time I shipped it out to the time I got it back was great. Hardly any time passed.

We ended up not getting the piece repaired due to the cost but support was great about getting back to me which I appreciate.

Printer model: Prima 4
