This enables the driver to convert information
sent by the application into magnetic encoding
data recognisable by your printer.
The Macro start and Macro end functions
enable you to specify the characters that
denote the beginning and the end of a
magnetic encoding data string.
If you wish the driver to use the tilde method
(most commonly used) i.e. track 1 data will be
specified by:
~1,<data>
do not change any of the settings on this page. Note: the tilde method does not have a Macro end
character.
If however you want track 1 data to be expressed by:
choose '#' as the Macro start character and '@' as the Macro end character, modify the macro as
shown.
