Change settings as needed, and then click Set Current to apply changes.
CustomCharHigh—Specify the numeric value of the highest ASCII character supported for

input data on the track.
CustomCharLength—Set the number of bits to represent one character of data on the track,

also called bits per character.
CustomCharLow—Specify the numeric value of the lowest ASCII character supported for

input data on the track.
CustomCharMask—Specify the mask value that is subtracted from the ASCII numeric value to

get the encoded value.
CustomCharMax—Specify the maximum number of data characters for the track. The value

does not include the start sentinel or end sentinel.
CustomDensity—Specify the number of data bits per inch of magnetic stripe media for the

track, also called bits per inch or bpi. Allowed values are 75 bpi or 210 bpi.
CustomEndSentinel—Specify the last character encoded, which identifies the end of

encoded data for the track.
CustomLrc—Specify a cumulative parity bit that is encoded after the end sentinel to provide

simple error checking.
CustomParity—Specify a character-level parity bit encoded after each character to provide

simple error checking.
CustomSdsNulls—The number of nulls between each copy of the data record. You should not

change this value.
CustomSdsRecords—The number of times to encode the data record. You should not change

this value.
CustomSdsSs—The number of start sentinels before each data record. You should not change

this value.
CustomStartSentinel—Specify the first character encoded, which identifies the start of the

encoded data for the track.
