
Do not use character formatting, such as kerning.

Do not use smart quotes. Straight quotation marks are allowed.

Use a small font size to shorten the lines of text to encode.

Keep text to print on a different line from text to encode.

When the Card Printer Driver adds lines of text for the same track, the sequence is
determined by the application. Test your application with the Card Printer Driver to make
sure that the data is in the correct order.

Magnetic stripe data sent by the Card Printer Driver is always encoded on side 2 of the card.

Magnetic stripe data is converted to uppercase letters if needed.

If characters unsupported by a track format are sent within the magnetic stripe data, the
printer displays a message.
If you have an existing application that uses magnetic stripe fonts from older generation printers,
the Card Printer Driver recognizes these fonts. If the fonts are not installed on your computer, use
the “Legacy Application Support” option on the driver installation
Support Files screen to install
them. Refer to “Install Support Files” on page 22 for more information.
