User's Guide for ImageCard® Magna™ and UltraGrafix® Magna™ Printers
Your service provider might ask you to use a different procedure to make a
printer test card. The card printed might have additional areas printed on it.
For UltraGrafix printers, the test card is printed with one color, such as black.
The test card has the pattern shown on the front of the card. The back of the card
will be printed with a similar pattern if the printer includes a duplex module.
If a magnetic stripe module is installed in the printer and enabled, the following
data is encoded on the card:

If an overlay module is installed in the printer and enabled, an overlay patch is
applied to the front of the card.
