Section 3
CARD LAYOUT & FIELD DESCRIPTIONS
All Series 1000 cards are encoded with information to control access to the fuel dispensing
equipment, the type of fuel(s), and the maximum amount of fuel dispensed.
If you have standard mag or optical cards, the system provides two variable identification fields so
you can customize the system to your particular information requirements. The names and sizes
of these variable fields must be specified at the time of order. You may also specify which card(s)
the various information fields are encoded on in a dual card application.
If you are encoding optical cards to match a GASBOY "A" System, the number and type of digits
to be encoded on a card varies according to individual customer requirements which are specified
at the time of order. The majority of this section covers standard mag and optical cards.
Encoding "A" system cards is discussed at the end of this section.
NOTE: You should have received a custom-tailored card layout along with a letter acknowledging
your order and providing installation guidelines. This layout details each data field on the
card and shows single and dual card formats (if applicable). Since field sizes may vary
between systems, it is important that you follow your specific card layout. Your card
layout is your most important reference when preparing your card information and
encoding your cards.
