Magnetic Stripe Coercivity - DataCard SD260 Installation And Administration Manual

Each time you start or stop using Japanese‐language characters, it adds a hidden
character. Each hidden character reduces the number of characters you can
encode by one character.

Magnetic Stripe Coercivity

The printer may require additional settings to match the coercivity of the card.
When these values are set they remain the same for all cards processed using the
same design. The defaults are set to standard ISO format and high coercivity.
Refer to "MagStripeGeneral" on page 52 for information about changing the
coercivity.
The type of magnetic stripe cards you use must match the type of module
installed. Three high‐coercivity cards are included with the system. Use these
cards to make sure that the printer is encoding magnetic stripe information
properly. Purchase additional magnetic stripe cards to match the type of module
you are using.
