8.12 Defining data to store on magnetic stripes

You can use the Card Layout Editor to define the data stored on magnetic stripes if your cards support them.

To add a magnetic stripe:

  1. Click Insert Text or Insert Auto Text.
  2. Select the Font from the drop-down list.

    Select Magnetic Stripe 1, 2 or 3. These fonts are used to specify that the text should not be printed to the card, but should be written to one of the three magnetic stripe tracks.

  3. Select the System Text you want to write to the track, or type the Content.

Note: Make sure that the text you provide is suitable for encoding on the specified magnetic stripe track. For example, track 1 contains alphanumeric and punctuation characters, while tracks 2 and 3 contain only numeric characters.
