Sending the Track Information
Magnetic track data is sent in the form of text strings from the application software to the
Printer Driver.
• In order for the Printer Driver to differentiate between Magnetic Track data and the rest of
the printable objects, specific characters must be added to the Magnetic data to be
encoded.
• These specify the data that is to be encoded, the tracks to encode and mark the start and
stop of the data string.
