Selecting the Coercivity/Magnetic Track

Use the ISO option for encoding capability for either high- or low-coercivity cards on tracks 1, 2 and 3 and is the industry's standard mode of magnetic encoding.

Step Procedure

1Select the Coercivity option (Oersted) to use the Magnetic Stripe type that matches the card type.

•High Coercivity to Super Coercivity = 2750-4000 Oersted (Fargo’s High Coercivity UltraCard IIIs are 2750 Oe)

•Medium Coercivity = 600 Oersted

•Low Coercivity = 300 Oersted

2Select the Magnetic Track Selection option to specify which track is to be configured through the Magnetic Track Options (if the application being used requires customization of the standard ISO encoding process). See Reviewing the Magnetic Track Options.
