Custom ISO Data The encoder can be configured to process ISO track

data in non-ISO track locations. The printer inter

prets and processes the ASCII data normally. The

custom data control commands; &D (track density),

&CDER (read data format) and the &CDEW (write

data format).

The printer automatically read verifies after a write,

so all three commands (&D, &CDER, and

&CDEW) must be properly configured to function

without reporting a data error.

Unique Custom Data

Formats

The encoder is capable of reading and writing non-

ANSI/ISO data. The data block and the track’s data

string formatting is “stripped” and “passed

through” the encoder (and printer) without error

checking, encoding or decoding. The host sends

and receives “Raw” hexadecimal data strings.

Each hexadecimal block sent to the encoder repre-

sent a block of magnetic card encoded data. The

encoder stripes the most significant bits of the data

blocks off of each hexadecimal block.
