Using the Encoding Mode option
Use the Encoding Mode option to specify which magnetic encoding standard to use.

The DTC500 Series Card Printer can be installed with one of two types of factory-
installed Magnetic Stripe Encoding Modules.

Change the encoding mode and Coercivity setting or modify the ISO standards for tracks
1, 2 and 3, by correctly modifying these Magnetic Encoding options.
Step Procedure
1 Select the ISO Standard Encoding Module with a dual-Coercivity (high or low)
encoding head. (Note: By default, the Printer driver is set to encode according
to ISO standards onto High Coercivity Magnetic Stripes.)
OR
Select the JIS II Standard Encoding Module commonly used in Japan. Select the
JIS II mode to encode only Track 2.
(Note #1: The JIS II option provides encoding compatibility with the JIS C 6220
Type II cards commonly used in Japan. No encoding customization options are
available with the JIS II mode.)
(Note #2: The JIS II Magnetic Head must be installed in the Printer to use any
of the JIS II options in the driver.)
