Check your printers LCD screen.

If you see your printer name followed by an ‘M”  or a “Mag”  then it has Magnetic encoding capability.

If not then please be aware that magnetic encoding capability, a magnetic encoder module, cannot be retro-fitted after a printer has been manufactured.

It can can only be included at the time of manufacture.

You can also enter your serial number on the Support Home Page to view the product code and description for your specific printer:
