Transfer TOF
PLT-02931, A.4
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).
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.
