User’s Guide for ImageCard® Select™ and UltraGrafix® Select™ Printers
Your service provider might ask you to use a different procedure to make a
printer test card. The card printed might have additional area printed on it. For
UltraGrafix printers, the test card is printed with one color, such as black.
Check the following:
• The test card has the pattern shown on the front of the card. The back of the card
will be printed with a similar pattern if the printer includes a duplex module.
• If a magnetic stripe module is installed in the printer and enabled, the following
data is encoded on the card:
See “Magnetic stripe encoding” on page D-1 for more information about magnetic
stripe tracks.
• The tracks available depend on the type of module installed.
• The magnetic stripe data on the printer test card is generated by the printer and
does not test driver-to-printer communication.
If you are not satisfied with the appearance of the test card, see “Problems with card
appearance” on page 5-7 to identify the problem and possible solutions.
