Encoding the Mode/Coercivity/Magnetic Track Selection
Use the ISO option for encoding capability for either high- or low-Coercivity cards on tracks
1, 2 and 3.
Step Procedure
1
Select the Coercivity option to select the Magnetic Stripe type that matches the
card type.
High Coercivity = 2500-4000 Oersted (Fargo’s High Coercivity UltraCards
are 2750Oe)
Low Coercivity = 250-600 Oersted (Fargo’s Low Coercivity UltraCards are
300Oe)
2
Select the Magnetic Track Selection option to specify which track is to be
configured through the Magnetic Track options (if the application being used
requires customization of the standard ISO encoding process).
3 Customize these options if the application requires it; even though, the default
ISO Magnetic Track options should be correct for most applications. (Note: All
options must be changed separately for each of the three individual tracks.)
a. Set these options back to the ISO standard settings once they have been
changed by selecting the Default button for each of the separate tracks.
