Creating a Card Layout Working with MCE
At the top of the form ( Figure 4-3 on page 4-2 ), you will notice the Company Name, Card
Layout, and PIN Layout fields ( Figure 4-4 ). You may enter the values directly into these
fields, but it is recommended that you use wizard fields and controls to create your layout. The
details of wizard fields and buttons are provided in the following pages. To save layouts, click
Save & Load. A series of message windows will appear explaining that any cards will be
removed from the system and new layouts will be saved. Click Yes and OK to save your
layouts.
PIN Layout
This version allows the creation of only one card and PIN layout. Your MCE can calculate
non-Cenex PINs and print the PINs used on Gasboy CFN and Series 1000 Systems. Cenex
PIN generation is currently not a function of this software. PINs can be calculated only against
numeric data on the card. You cannot calculate a PIN against A, C, E, or a field separator. If
PINs are desired, the following data must be loaded.
PIN LAYOUT
The PIN layout is used to determine which card characters are used for calculation of the PIN.
P
Calculation character - Indicates that the associated card layout character is used for the PIN
calculation. Only numeric characters should be indicated for the PIN calculation. No more
than 20 characters can be designated for PIN calculation.
X
Non-calculation character - Indicates that the associated card layout character is not used for
the PIN calculation.
PIN KEY
The PIN key for your site should be loaded for proper PIN calculation.
Note: PINs are not printed for cards where a READ ERROR has occurred.
Note: The wizard fields and buttons are arranged vertically from top to bottom ( Figure 4-3 on
page 4-2 ).
