• 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.
• Enable EIN Readback: Applicable only in applications using cards with pre-encoded
(“embedded”) inventory numbers.
Important • If you have the Magnetic Stripe Encoder option installed, ensure that the
Mag. Encoder Verify On checkbox is checked.
