Magnetic Card Stripe Encoder
This section has information on the additional
operation and maintenance requirements of
an Eltron Privilege Series card printer with an
optional Magnetic Card Stripe Encoder. Eltron
offers models for recording on either low- or
high-coercivity magnetic card stripes.
Introduction The general operation of a printer with an en-
coder option nearly duplicates that of models
without this option. P600 Encoders can reside
in either Module 1or Module2, justpast aPrint
Station. P500 Encoders always reside in Mod-
ule 1. Encoder installations exist for either up-
or down-facing magnetic stripes in both P500s
and P600s.
Only use cards with flush magnetic stripes.
Never use pasted-on stripes.
