Window Tab Procedure
If you select ISO Encoding, you send down a
formatted set of characters.
This selection activates the track tabs. However, all
functions on the Track tabs are inactive or gray and
display ISO defaults, which are the defaults listed for
each track below. The Shift Data Left check box
remains unchecked and inactive.
If you select Custom Encoding, all options are
active.
The Default is ISO Encoding.
Note: The defaults are the same as the ISO Encoding
defaults.
All functions on the Magnetic Track Options tabs are
active.
If you select Raw Binary Encoding, you send down a
raw binary string rather than a formatted set of
characters.
The Coercivity dropdown function is active and the
Shift Data Left checkbox is not active.
All functions on the Magnetic Track Options tabs are
inactive except for Bit Density.
If you select JIS II Encoding, specific standards are
used.
This selection disables all the Magnetic Track Options
tabs. It also disables the Coercivity dropdown function
and Shift Data Left checkbox option.
The default Coercivity is 600 Oe.
Select the Coercivity option (Oersted) that matches
the card type.
High Coercivity 4000 Oersted
FARGO's High Coercivity UltraCard IIIs are 2750
Oersted
Medium Coercivity=600 Oersted
Low Coercivity = 300 Oersted
Select this option to shift the recorded magnetic data
to the left-hand side of the card's Magnetic Stripe.
This is useful in situations that require cards to be
readable with insert type readers.
