Using the Magnetic Offset option
Use this option only if the Printer has a built-in Magnetic Stripe encoder.
• Use it 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 (on the next page) 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. (Note: For this diagram, imagine that the card is transparent and the card's mag
stripe can be seen through the top or front side of the card.)
