APPENDIX A
Magnetic Card Encoder
Introduction
This Appendix includes operation and maintenance requirements for the P330i Printer
with the optional magnetic card stripe encoder. (See Chapter 2 for location of the Magnetic
Card Stripe Encoder.)
The magnetic encoder can be set for either high or low coercivity. Use the printer driver to
change the encoder setting.
Media Loading Orientation
The magnetic encoder may be installed with the read/write head positioned below the card
path. Magnetic Card Stripe Encoder upgrade kits are also available.
When loading cards with magnetic stripes into the card feeder, please ensure that the
magnetic stripe is down and nearer to the rear of the printer.
Also available are Printer models with the Magnetic Read/Write head positioned above the
card path. When loading cards into one of these models, ensure that the magnetic stripe is
up and nearer to the rear of the printer.
