Magnetic Card Encoder
Introduction
Media Loading Orientation
The magnetic encoder is a factory installed item with the read/write head positioned below or
above the card path, available with HICO or LOCO encoding.
When loading cards with magnetic stripes into the card feeder, please ensure that the magnetic
stripe is facing the left side of the printer, and closest to the bottom edge of the card feeder, as
shown below.
Magnetic Encoder Cleaning
Use the standard cleaning card process as described in Chapter 4. This cleans the most
important parts of the printer; including the print Head, Transport Roller and Magnetic Stripe
Encoder.
Caution • ONLY USE cards that comply with ISO 7810 & 7811 standards for
magnetic stripe cards. The magnetic stripe must be flush to the surface of the card
to work properly. Never use cards which have taped-on magnetic stripes.
