|
|
LCD (Liquid Crystal | A device that contains a liquid crystal between two pieces of |
|
Display) | polarized film through which reflected or ambient light can pass. |
|
| When a current is applied, the liquid's polarity changes and blocks |
|
| the passage of the light resulting in an opaque area of the display. |
|
| The areas are arrayed to form characters. |

|
|
Media | A generic reference to anything onto which the Printer can |
|
| transfer an image including cards, ribbon, and film. |

|
Coercivity) | (ISO |
|

|
|
LPT Port (Line | The system abbreviation for a PC's parallel Printer port. |

|
|
|
|
|
Mag encoding | The process of orienting successive magnetic bits to produce a |
|
| serial data string. |
|
|
|
|
Magnetic Stripe | An area of the card with an applied or impregnated ferrous |
|
| material that may hold encoded data through a series of |
|
| prescribed polarity changes. |
|
|
|
|
Mag Track | An area of a magnetic strip running the length of the card, with a |
|
| given width and position, constitutes a Track. This is the area |
|
| dedicated to one data string, restricted to specific rules of format. |
|
| ISO Standards specify three magnetic Tracks on the back of a |
|
| card. The JIS standard specifies one Track on the front. |
|
|
|
|
Mag Verify | A process to confirm proper Magnetic Encoding. After encoding, |
|
| the information is read off back and compared to the intended |
|
| string. |
