Appendix A:
Magnetic Stripe
Encoding Module
A. MAGNETIC TRACK OPTIONS
A Pro Series Card Printer can be purchased with one of two types of factory-
installed Magnetic Stripe Encoding Modules. The first, most common type is an
ISO Standard encoding module with a dual-coercivity (high or low) encoding head.
The second is a JIS II Standard encoding module commonly used in Japan.
By default, the printer driver is set to encode according to ISO standards onto high-
coercivity magnetic stripes. To change the encoding mode, coercivity setting, or to
modify the ISO standards for tracks 1, 2, and 3, simply select the Magnetic Track
Options tab (or Magnetics button) from within the printer driver setup window.
The Magnetic Track Options will display.
