Appendix D
Magnetic Card Encoder
Introduction
This Appendix includes operation and maintenance requirements for Printers with the optional
magnetic card stripe encoder.
The magnetic encoder can be set for either high coercivity (HiCo) or low coercivity (LoCo).
Use the printer driver to change the encoder setting.
HiCo vs. LoCo:
• HiCo cards are used for the majority of applications; e.g., credit cards, ID cards, access
control cards, etc. HiCo magnetic stripes are usually black and are encoded with a strong
magnetic field for long and durable card life.
• LoCo cards are used for short-term applications; e.g., season passes, hotel room keys, etc.
LoCo magnetic stripes are usually brown in color and are encoded with a low intensity
magnetic field.
