Hints & Tips

The images and text do not change.
• The magnetic stripe test card verifies that the driver sends magnetic stripe
data to the printer and that the printer encodes it. The data cannot be
changed.
• The magnetic stripe data sent by the driver requires that the printer be set to
encode the three-track ISO format for a three-track module, or the JIS-II
format for the single-track module.
• The sample card buttons will print one copy of the selected card. The Number
of Copies entry on the Printing Preferences > Advanced page does not apply
to the sample cards.
