Using the Mag Top of Form Option

Use this option only if the Printer has a built-in Magnetic Stripe Encoder.

• If so, use this option to shift the starting point of where the Printer will begin encoding the

magnetic track data on a card's Magnetic Stripe.

• When adjusting this value, keep in mind that a card and its Magnetic Stripe will always

remain in the same relative position as the card travels through the Printer.

The diagram (below) represents:

• How the magnetic data will move in relation to the fixed position of a card's Magnetic

Stripe as a “positive” or “negative” Magnetic Offset value is entered.

• For this diagram, assume that the card is transparent and the card's Magnetic stripe can

be seen through the top or front side of the card.
