Configuring the BadgePass Print Suite
When first installing the BadgePass Print Suite, the magnetic encoder functions need to be configured. The magnetic encoder functions may be accessed from the BadgePass
Print Suite 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 Dialogue 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.
