Description

Magnetic Encoding

options (changing and

modifying)

Change the encoding mode and Coercivity setting or modify the ISO standards for

tracks 1, 2 and 3, by correctly modifying these Magnetic Encoding options.

ISO Encoding Mode

selection (active and

inactive functions)

If you select

ISO Encoding, you send down a formatted set of characters. (Note:

This selection activates the track tabs. However, all functions on the Track tabs are

inactive/gray and display ISO defaults, which are the defaults listed for each track

below. The

Shift Data Left check box remains unchecked and inactive.)

Custom Encoding Mode

selection (active and

inactive functions)

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. However, all

functions on the Magnetic Track Options tabs are active.)

Raw Binary Encoding

Mode selection (active

and inactive functions)

If you select Raw Binary Encoding, you send down a raw binary string rather than a

formatted set of characters. (

Note: The Coercivity dropdown function is active and

the Bit Density, Character Size, Reverse Bit Order and Add Leading Zeros are also

active and configurable for each track when Raw Binary Encoding is selected).
Reverse Bit Order is used to reverse the character bits and is used for the

encryption of data in specific programs
Add Leading Zeros is used to add a set number of leading zeros to the magnetic

string in order to move the starting point of the encoded data in specific programs for

encryption of data.
