MagStripeMS2General
Secondary magnetic stripe settings are available for WebAdmin and WebService access-level
users if this option is installed on your printer.
This setting is unavailable for most printers.
Change settings as needed, and then click Set Current to apply changes.
MS2Attempts—Specify the number of attempts (automatic retries) the printer makes to
encode the magnetic stripe data. This value also is used for the number of times to attempt
to read magnetic stripe data.
If you set this number to a lower value, it increases the throughput of the printer but can
decrease the reliability of magnetic stripe encoding.
If you set the number to a higher value, it decreases the throughput of the printer but can
increase the reliability of magnetic stripe encoding.
A value of 1 means no retry attempts.
MS2Coercivity—Select the coercivity setting that matches the cards you are using. The
choices are HICO, LOCO, NTT1, NTT2, NTT3.
MS2DataFormat1—Specify the name of the data format for track 1.
To use a custom data format, define the format for track 1 using the
MagStripeMS2CustomTrack1 setting and then set MS2DataFormat1 to CUSTOM.
MS2ReadTrack1—Allow magnetic stripe read actions to read from track 1.
