Using the Magnetic Encoding Tab – ISO Standards
You can change the encoding mode and coercivity setting or modify the ISO standards for Tracks 1, 2 and 
3. This can be done by correctly modifying these Magnetic Encoding options. 
Window TAB
Procedure
Procedure (continued)
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.
