Mag Encoder Verify On
If this box is checked, every card is run twice under
the read/write head. The first pass writes the code, and
second reads it to check for accuracy and readability.
Any card not passing this test is ejected through the
laminator without printing. Verification adds only 3
seconds to the processing time per card, and is
recommended for all applications not calling for the
highest possible throughput.
Bit by Bit Encoding
This is used only in applications calling for a custom
designed encoding format. Call Zebra tech support for
more information.
Enable EIN Reedback
Applicable only in applications using cards with pre-
en-coded (“embedded”) inventory numbers.
