Is my machine capable of using magnetic stripe cards?

Written By john.fieldsend

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.

In all fairness, as my question was the opposite of what MagiCard would like to achieve I wasn't really expecting a comprehensive answer. Even though I did not get a solution to my question, the answer was well formulated and even offered some alternatives inducing the effect the alternative would have to the print quality.

Great Job! I was impressed that the printer problems were fixed quickly and returned to me and packaged properly so it was returned to me in great condition, and nothing broke. Nice job! Thanks for your good service!
