l
Super High Coercivity = 4,000 Oe
l
High Coercivity = 2,750 Oe (HID high coercivity UltraCard IIIs are 2750 Oe)
l
Medium Coercivity = 600 Oe
l
Low Coercivity = 300 Oe
Shift Data Left:This option shifts the recorded magnetic data to the left-hand side of the magnetic stripe on
the card. This is used when cards require insert type readers.
