&CDEW Command - Write Custom Track Data
The card printer responds to commands (with data
or error codes) via the bi-directional serial interface
only. The card printer cannot respond to this com
-
mand, (other than flagging an error), through a par
-
allel interface. The card printer can operate with
both interfaces attached and communicating with
the printer.
Description Configure the write data to encode a single, selected
track of data.
The &CDEW command in conjunction with the
&CDER command resets the encoder to the default
ISO track density and data format settings.
Note: To send this command directly to a Max En-
coder, use an #21 Initiation instead of just an
Escape.
