Mag Encoder Verify On

If this box is checked, every card is run twice under the read/write head. The first pass writes the code, and second reads it to check for accuracy and readability. Any card not passing this test is ejected through the laminator without printing. Verification adds only 3 seconds to the processing time per card, and is recommended for all applications not calling for the highest possible throughput.

Bit by Bit Encoding

This is used only in applications calling for a custom designed encoding format. Call Zebra tech support for more information.
