A. Introduction
The Color ID Card Printer has a Magnetic Stripe Encoding Module available as a factory installed option. Either a high or a low coercivity magnetic encoder is available (specify high or low when ordering). Both encoding modules will encode on Tracks 1, 2, and 3.
When encoding, the Color ID Card printer will encode according to the ISO standards for magnetic encoding. These standards are preset within the printer driver and will remain as the default until modified. Although these settings will suffice for most applications, it is possible to change or customize the printerÕs magnetic encoding process. To do this, simply select the Magnetics button from within the printer driver setup window and change the Magnetic Track Options according to how your specific magnetic stripe reading equipment is configured. This window is shown below. Please note that all options must be changed separately for each of the three individual tracks. To set these options back to the ISO standard settings once they have been changed, simply select the Default Format button for each of the separate tracks.
