Chapter 4: Implementation

Choices for Features

Many features have more than one method or choice available for

implementing them. This section describes the choices available

for:

• “Magnetic Stripe”

• “Smart Card”

Magnetic Stripe

Magnetic stripe encoding requires two steps:

• Settings in the printer to obtain the desired

result

• Formatted data to encode

Setting Values

The Printer Manager provides magnetic strip settings and the ability to customize

formats. To use proprietary formats, you must have a business relationship with

the owner of the format, who will provide you with the requirements for

encoding the format.

The Front Panel of the printer provides the ability to set magnetic stripe coercivity

and several addressing features such as setting the type of IP address — static or

DHCP, entering IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Addresses. You can also view

card counts and other printer information from the Front Panel.

Formatting Data

The following choices are available:

• ID software can format the magnetic stripe data to send. ID software for

Windows is commercially available.

• In a Windows environment, you can write an application to format magnetic

stripe and other data.

• Magnetic stripe fonts can be used in the Windows environment. Fonts in the

Windows driver correspond to format of the track written.

• Escape codes can be used when using the Windows printer driver. Escape

codes allow the printer to be compatible with applications that were designed
