Series 8 Card Printer listing; and select Printing Preferences > Encoding.
Magnetic encoding: The Coercivity option is set automatically by the Card Type In Use
selection made on the Card Setup tab. All other options are user-selectable.
- Disable magnetic encoding: Prevents the printer from encoding a card, whether the
job has magnetic encoding data in it or not.
- Encode only: Disables printing, whether the job has an image to be printed or not.
- Magnetic encoder verification: Verifies the data that is written to the card before
declaring the encoding action to be successful.
- Use Hex format to encode tracks: When selected, allows the entry of data in
hexadecimal values.
- Magnetic encoding type: Selections are ISO, AAMVA (American Association of
Motor Vehicle Administrators), CUSTOM, BINARY, and JIS-II (Japanese Industrial
Standard). The default will be whatever mag encoder is installed in the printer; i.e.,
ISO or JIS II. Custom and Binary settings are adjusted using the ZXP Toolbox; see
Magnetic Encoding on page 123.
- Coercivity: Set when the card type is selected via the Card Setup Tab on page 79.
