Selecting the Coercivity/Magnetic Track

Use the ISO option for encoding capability for either high- or low-coercivity cards on tracks 1,
2 and 3 and is the industry's standard mode of magnetic encoding.
Step Procedure
1 Select the Coercivity option (Oersted) to use the Magnetic Stripe type that
matches the card type.
•
High Coercivity to Super Coercivity = 2750-4000 Oersted (Fargo's High
Coercivity UltraCard IIIs are 2750 Oe)
•
Medium Coercivity = 600 Oersted
•
Low Coercivity = 300 Oersted
2 Select the Magnetic Track Selection option to specify which track is to be
configured through the Magnetic Track Options (if the application being used
requires customization of the standard ISO encoding process).
