The Eltron Company P310 Printer User Manual


 
1.2.5 Magnetic Stripe Encoder (Option)
Printers equipped with Magnetic Stripe Encoders fully support the encoding of cards with
magnetic stripes. This includes several encoding formats. Read-After-Write checking
occurs with each encoding to assure a reliable result. After receipt of related data,
encoding of all three tracks occurs in a single pass through the encoder. Encoding occurs
as the cards transition between the Print Station and the Card Catcher, where the
read/write heads and an associated card sensor reside.
