Description
This option is only for the built-in magnetic stripe encoder.
Use this option to shift the starting point of where the printer will begin
encoding the magnetic track data on a card's magnetic stripe.
When adjusting this value, keep in mind that a card and its magnetic stripe
will always remain in the same relative position as the card travels through
the printer.
Magnetic Data Direction
The arrows on these buttons indicate the direction the magnetic data will
move on the card's magnetic stripe.
Enter a positive value to move the start of the magnetic data toward the
trailing edge of the card or the card input side of the printer.
Maximum Adjustment Range
The maximum adjustment range is 0 - 120. As a rule, 20 equals about.030 in
(0.8mm).
Note: If the negative value is set too high, the printer may start encoding
before the card's magnetic stripe reaches the encoding head.
