Appendix A
Magnetic Encoding
Introduction
Pebble printers with a magnetic stripe card encoder are called Pebble Mag printers. The operating
mode of a Pebble Mag printer is identical to that of a Pebble printer.
The magnetic encoder encodes tracks ISO 1, 2 and 3 in a single passage and then checks the data.
Parameterisable in high coercivity (HICO) or in low coercivity (LOCO) with a simple click from the
Windows driver, however, the encoders of the Pebble Mag are sent adjusted to high coercivity (HICO)
by default, unless specifically requested on the order.
Location of the magnetic encoder
The magnetic encoder is a module installed in the factory on Pebble
Mag printers. The writing and reading head is placed under the path
of the cards and after the print head.
The encoding sequence of a card is still carried out before a printing

Cards with a magnetic track must be installed in the feeder so the magnetic stripe faces upwards,
as follows:

1. Remove the feeder
from the printer as
shown.
2. Lower the spring system as
shown and insert 100
magnetic cards of 0.76 mm
(30mil) at most.

3. Put the feeder back in the
printer. Then press on the top of
the feeder until it clicks.
