Using the Encoding Mode option
Use the Encoding Mode option to specify which magnetic encoding standard to use.
• The HDP 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: A JIS II Magnetic Head must be installed in the Printer to use any of
the JIS II options in the Driver.)
