Magnetic encoding
Introduction
Dualys printers with a magnetic stripe card encoder are called Dualys Mag printers. The operating
mode of a Dualys Mag printer is identical to that of a Dualys printer.
The magnetic encoder encodes tracks ISO 1, 2 and 3 in a single passage and then checks the data.
Set in high coercivity (HICO) or in low coercivity (LOCO) with a simple click from the
Windows driver, however, the encoders of the Dualys Mag are sent adjusted to high coercivity (HICO)
by default, unless specifically requested on the order.
Location of the magnetic encoder
The magnetic encoder is a module installed in the factory
on Dualys Mag printers. The writing and reading head is
placed under the path of the cards and after the print
head.
The encoding sequence of a card is still
carried out before printing.
Card orientation
Cards with a magnetic track must be installed in the feeder
so the magnetic strip faces upwards, as follows:

Remove the feeder from the printer as shown.
