Media Loading Orientation

Caution: ONLY USE cards that comply with ISO 7810 & 7811 standards for magnetic
stripe cards. The magnetic stripe must be flush to the surface of the card to
work properly. Never use cards which have taped-on magnetic stripes.
The magnetic encoder is a factory installed item with
the read/write head positioned below the card path,
available with HICO or LOCO encoding.
When loading cards with magnetic stripes into the
card feeder, please ensure that the magnetic stripe
is facing the left side of the printer, and closest to
the bottom edge of the card feeder.
Note:NBS approved HICO & LOCO PVC cards are available.
