SECTION 1. FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
The Model MT-95 RS-232 HiCo/LoCo Encoder/Reader encodes (or writes) and reads on 3-track
magnetic stripes which comply with ISO standards 7810, 7811-2, -4, -5, -6, and 7813. The
Encoder can read or write on all three tracks of the magnetic stripe on LoCo (low coercivity or
low energy) or HiCo (high coercivity or high energy) cards. HiCo cards are more difficult to
erase, but LoCo cards can be erased by a small magnet.
A liquid crystal display (LCD) prompts the operator for encoding, reading, clearing tracks,
communication setup, and some errors (such as, “Could not read track”). A circular knob with a
finger hold on the left side of the unit permits an intensity adjustment (which is actually the
viewing angle) of the LCD.
