Magnetic Card Encoder

Introduction

Media Loading Orientation

Caution • ONLY USE cards that comply with ISO 7810 & 7811 standards for magnetic stripe cards. The magnetic stripe must be flush to the surface of the card to work properly. Never use cards which have taped-on magnetic stripes.

The magnetic encoder is a factory installed item with the read/write head positioned below or above the card path, available with HICO or LOCO encoding.

When loading cards with magnetic stripes into the card feeder, please ensure that the magnetic stripe is facing the left side of the printer, and closest to the bottom edge of the card feeder, as shown below.
