Magnetic encoding

Introduction

Quantum printers with a magnetic stripe encoder are called Quantum Mag printers.

The working of a Quantum Mag printer is identical to that of a Quantum 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 Quantum Mag printers are sent

adjusted by default in high coercivity (HICO), unless otherwise specifically ordered.

1. Location of the magnetic encoder

The magnetic encoder is a module installed in the

factory on Quantum 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
