HINTS & TIPS
• Do not use character formatting, such as kerning.
• Do not use smart quotes.
• Use an application in which you can enter and save text, and then edit it after
saving.
• Use a R
ETURN or ENTER keystroke to end a line.
• Use a small font size to shorten lines of text to encode.
• Keep text to print on a different line from text to encode.
• When the driver adds lines of text for the same track, the sequence is
determined by the application. Test your application with the driver to make
sure the data is in the correct order.
• Magnetic stripe data sent by the driver is always encoded on side 2 of the
card.
• Magnetic stripe data will be converted to uppercase (capital) letters if needed.
• If not-allowed characters are sent within the magnetic stripe data, the printer
displays a message.
