Cards do not have a
magnetic stripe.
Load magnetic stripe cards in the input hopper. If the
cards have a magnetic stripe, check the quality of
the cards. Change card stock, if needed.
The card has dirt or
damage on the
magnetic stripe.
Encode and send a new card to print. If an error
message displays indicating a magnetic stripe
problem, run a cleaning card to clean the magnetic
stripe head. Refer to
“Run a Printer Cleaning Card”
on
page 30

To use the cards you have, select low-coercivity
encoding. Refer to the Printer Manager “Printer
Setting Menu” in the
Installation and Administrator’s
Guide
for more information. To encode with high
coercivity, obtain cards manufactured for high-
coercivity encoding. Refer to
“Print a Test Card”
