Using the Magnetic Track Selection option
Use these options to customize the ISO encoded data format for each of the Magnetic
Stripe's three tracks.
Step Procedure
1 Select the Magnetic Track Selection option to specify which track is to be
configured through the Magnetic Track options (if the application being used
requires customization of the standard ISO encoding process).
2 Customize these options if the application requires it; even though, the default
Magnetic Track options should be correct for most applications. (Note: All
options must be changed separately for each of the three individual tracks.)
• Set these options back to the ISO standard settings once they have been
changed by selecting the Default button for each of the separate tracks.
3 Specify which of the three (3) tracks to customize by selecting one of the
three track options.
After making the required selection, the Magnetic Track options box displays
the current set of customization options for the selected track.
Remember that each track must be customized independently of the other
two tracks.
