Mag Top of Form
Transfer TOF
September 2018
Description
This option is only for the built-in magnetic stripe encoder.
Use this option to shift the starting point of where the printer begins encoding the
magnetic track data on a magnetic stripe of the card.
When adjusting this value, keep in mind that a card and its magnetic stripe always
remains 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 moves on the
magnetic stripe on the card.
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 .030" (0.8 mm).
Note: If the negative value is set too high, the printer may start encoding before the
magnetic stripe on the card reaches the encoding head.
Print the alignment self-test card.
Adjust the Transfer TOF until the TOF zero line is located on the edge of the card.
If the Transfer TOF is made too negative, the transfer roller can engage in front of
the card causing a transfer jam.
