Securion printers with a magnetic stripe card encoder are called Securion Mag printers. The opera-
ting mode of a Securion Mag printer is identical to that of a Securion printer.
The magnetic encoder encodes tracks ISO 1, 2 and 3 in a single passage and then checks the data.
Set in high coercivity (HICO) or in low coercivity (LOCO) with a simple click from the
Windows driver, however, the encoders of the Securion Mag are sent adjusted to high coercivity
(HICO) by default, unless specifically requested on the order.

The magnetic encoder is a module installed in the factory on
Securion Mag printers. The writing and reading head is placed
under the path of the cards and after the print head.
The encoding sequence of a card is still carried out
before printing.

Cards with a magnetic track must be installed in the feeder so the
magnetic strip faces upwards, as follows:

When first installing the Windows driver, it is necessary to parameterise the functions of the magne-
tic encoder. The functions of the magnetic encoder are accessible from the
Tools
dialog box of the
driver by clicking the
Encoding Definition
button.
