Configuring the Evolis Print Center
When first installing the Evolis Print Center, the magnetic encoder functions need to be configured. The magnetic encoder functions may be accessed
from the Evolis Print Center Properties by right-clicking the name of the printer.
Magnetic Encoder Dialogue Box
The
Magnetic Encoding
dialog box is opened by clicking
Encoding
followed by
Magnetic
.
Configure stripes
allows you to select the desired format for each stripe. See the table
in this Appendix for information regarding ISO 7811 standards.
Coercivity
sets the magnetic encoding to high (HiCo) or low (LoCo) coercivity. A magnetic
stripe that is encoded with high coercivity is more resistant to external disturbance than
a magnetic stripe encoded using low coercivity.
Encoding via an application
is used to encode magnetic stripe cards from applications
under Windows (such as Word for example). A text field enclosed within “|” and “|”
characters (or some other character which the user can define) will be interpreted as an
encoding command by print driver.
Selecting
Maintenance
then
Dialog with the magnetic encoder
,
Magnetic encoding
allows one or more magnetic stripes to be directly encoded from this window simply by
selecting them and entering the data to be encoded. Click on the
Encode stripe(s)
button
to run the encoding cycle.
