2 and 3. This can be done by correctly modifying these Magnetic Encoding options.
Window Tab
Procedure
If you select
ISO Encoding
, you send down a formatted set of
characters.
This selection activates the track tabs. However, all functions on
the Track tabs are inactive or gray and display ISO defaults,
which are the defaults listed for each track below. The
Shift
Data Left
check box remains unchecked and inactive.
If you select
Custom Encoding
, all options are active.
The
Default
is ISO Encoding.
Note:
The defaults are the same as the ISO Encoding defaults.
All functions on the Magnetic Track Options tabs are active.
If you select
Raw Binary Encoding
, you send down a raw
binary string rather than a formatted set of characters.
The
Coercivity
dropdown function is active and the
Shift Data
Left
checkbox is not active.
All functions on the Magnetic Track Options tabs are inactive
except for
Bit Density
.
If you select
JIS II Encoding
, specific standards are used.
This selection disables all the Magnetic Track Options tabs. It
also disables the Coercivity dropdown function and
Shift Data
Left
checkbox option.
The default Coercivity is 600 Oe.
Select the
Coercivity
option (Oersted) that matches the card
type.
High Coercivity 4000 Oersted
FARGO’s High Coercivity UltraCard IIIs are 2750 Oersted
Medium Coercivity=600 Oersted
Low Coercivity = 300 Oersted
Select this option to shift the recorded magnetic data to the left-
hand side of the card's Magnetic Stripe.
This is useful in situations that require cards to be readable with
insert type readers.
