Magnetic encoding

Introduction

Dualys printers with a magnetic stripe encoder are called Dualys Mag printers. The working of a Dualys

Mag printer is identical to that of a Dualys printer.

The magnetic encoder encodes tracks ISO 1, 2 and 3 in a single pass and then checks the data.

Parameterisable in high coercivity (HICO) or low coercivity (LOCO) by a simple click from the

Windows driver, the encoders of the Dualys Mag printers are sent adjusted by default in high coerci-

vity (HICO), unless otherwise specifically ordered.

Location of the magnetic encoder

The magnetic encoder is a module installed in the factory on Dualys

Mag printers. The writing and reading head is placed in the route of

the cards and after the print head.

NOTE !

The encoding sequence of a card is always

carried out before printing.

Orientation of the cards

Cards with a magnetic track must be installed in the feeder so that

the magnetic track is facing up as shown below:

max.

1. Remove the feeder from

the printer as shown.

2. Press the spring system down

inside the feeder and insert the

cards as shown (100 cards max.

0.76mm – 30mil).

3. Replace the feeder in the printer.

Then, push on the upper part of

the feeder until you hear a “click”.
