Encode Only
Default = Unchecked
This option will enable the user to carry out magnetic encoding from a badging application without printing the associated image, this is useful for encoding cards that are already in use. No dye film will be used.
Perform Verification
Default = Unchecked
When enabled, the printer will self-check (verify) all magnetic encoded cards prior to printing the image - to ensure that encoding has been successful.
Any unsuccessful cards will be re-encoded up to 3 times. If still unsuccessful, the card will be rejected and the printer will give an error message.
Performing verification will increase the time to print but it will improve encoding reliability. In the interest of speed this option is turned off by default.
Coercivity
Default = High Coercivity (HiCo)
This option will select which encoding type to use. HiCo is the most commonly used.
Note: Typically a HiCo magstripe is Black and the LoCo magstripe is a Brown color.
Concatenate Mag Strings (MS Word)
Default = Unchecked
This option will help to overcome a situation in Microsoft Word where text strings that are sent using the tilde(~) method for magnetic encoding are split up into smaller chunks, thus they need to be concatenated together again to give valid magnetic encoding data.
