•
In most cases, the user must carefully add these characters to the string of Magnetic
Track data. If these characters are not added to the track data, the text intended for the
Magnetic Track will appear as printed text on the card. To avoid this, track information
must be entered as described below.
Step
Procedure
1
When entering track data, the ~ (tilde) character is entered first, followed by the track
number (1, 2 or 3) on which the data should encode. The data to be encoded follows the
track number.
•
The first character of this data string must be the track's specific Start Sentinel (SS)
and the last character must be the specific End Sentinel (ES).
•
The characters or data in between the SS and ES can include all of the valid
characters specific to each track.
•
The number of these characters, however, is limited by each track's maximum
character capacity.
•
When segmenting track data, the appropriate Field Separator (FS) must be used.
The table below shows the SS, ES, FS and the valid characters defined for each
track.
