Inline Encoding
When the Magnetic Encode setting on the Printing Preferences Encode tab is checked, the
magnetic stripe encoder can be enabled. The encoding data is sent to the card printer
through the printer driver using the prefix characters described in this section. This function
is called “inline encoding”.
If the first three characters in a line are prefix characters (Tilde, “?” and numeral), the text
that follow is recognized as encoding data. Encoding data is not printed on a card.
Tip for success
•
Data must be formatted with the same, continuous font.
•
Only characters specified in the table on page 77 can be included. Using other
characters will result in an error.
• The maximum number of characters does not include the three prefix characters, or
the start and end sentinels. The Datacard ID Software Printer Plug-in used with the
mag stripe plug-in adds the start and end sentinels.
•
Make sure that the ID software or PC application does not process the encoding
data as graphics.
•
Magnetic stripe data must be on the first page of the card data.
