RESTRICTED USE ONLY
Using the Magnetic Test option (only with Magnetic Encoding
Module)
Use this option only if Magnetic Encoding Module is installed in your Printer.
Step Procedure
1 Select this option to test the module. (Note: This test will not print on a card, but
will simply feed, encode, and eject a blank card.)
Be sure to have Magnetic Stripe cards installed in your Printer when running this
test.

Setting up the Printer

In most cases, these settings should only be modified by qualified service personnel.
• If adjustment is necessary, refer to the Printer's Technical Service and Maintenance
Manual (available upon request) for detailed instructions, or call for technical assistance.
• If you would like to make small adjustments to Print TOF/EOF (offset) or Image
Darkness, first try making these changes through the Printer driver's Image Position and
Image Color controls prior to changing the internal Printer settings.
Caution #1: These settings are optimized at the factory and will rarely need to be
changed.
Caution #2: Do not alter these settings unless it is absolutely necessary.
Caution #3: If you do need to change these settings, it is important to note that the
factory settings for each specific Printer are recorded on a label on the bottom of the Printer.
Refer to this label if you ever need to reset the Printer settings back to the factory defaults.
Use this option to change the Printer's internal settings for controlling the procedures in this
section.
