Troubleshooting 5-5

EYour service provider might ask you to use a different procedure to make a printer test card. The card printed might have additional area printed on it. For UltraGrafix printers, the test card is printed with one color, such as black.

Check the following:

•The test card has the pattern shown on the front of the card. The back of the card will be printed with a similar pattern if the printer includes a duplex module.

•If a magnetic stripe module is installed in the printer and enabled, the following data is encoded on the card:

Track	Format	Data
Track 1	(IATA)	TEST PATTERN IATA CHARACTER
		SUBSET 0123456789
Track 2	(ABA)	012345678012345678990123456789
Track 3	(TTS)	0123456789=9876543210
Track 3	(NTT)	0123456789=9876543210

See “Magnetic stripe encoding” on page D-1for more information about magnetic stripe tracks.

•The tracks available depend on the type of module installed.

•The magnetic stripe data on the printer test card is generated by the printer and does not test driver-to-printer communication.

If you are not satisfied with the appearance of the test card, see “Problems with card appearance” on page 5-7to identify the problem and possible solutions.
