The printers may have the Magstripe encoder fitted as an enhancement for added security. To ensure that the magnetic encoding is compatible with your card readers all the printer default settings are set to meet ISO std. 7811.
- Right click on the printer driver selecting printer properties.
- Click on the Magnetic Encoding tab and select Perform Verification and High Coercitivity.
- To encode magnetic cards from either notepad or any other application, start and end sentinals will need to be entered into it.
- The encoding string is as follows;
- ~<tracknumber>,<data>
- Sample ~1,12345XYZ this will encode 12345XYZ onto track 1
- Sample ~2,12345678 this will encode 12345678 onto track 2
- NOTE: There are no end sentinals for this printer
- A sample of what is required when entering the encoding string into an application is shown below (CardExchange)
