CLEARjet GmbH CX-one
WARNING:
It is not possible to process embossed cards with this device!
Position of Magnetic Stripe
The magnetic card must be inserted into the printer with the magnetic stripe on the right
bottom side. Cards with magnetic stripes in different locations cannot be processed with
this device.
5.1.4 Character Set
Depending on the used standard or track, only a special character set can be stored on
the magnetic stripe. Encoding of symbols which are not included in this character set is
not possible!
For the character set table see CX-one Programmers Manual – chapter 'MAG-
Encoding'.
5.1.5 Controlling the Magnetic Module
Several commands for writing, reading, automatic reading, etc. are available for
controlling the magnetic encoding module. It is possible to control the modules directly
via either the ‘RS 232 - Host’ or ‘USB’ printer interfaces.
See the CX-one Programmer’s Manual for more detailed descriptions of control
commands or ask for Active CX SDK.
The Active CX SDK (software development kit) includes ActiveX packages for
controlling the magnetic modules as well as a programmer's manual with detailed
information about programming magnetic modules and the functionality of the supported
standards.
WARNING:
The interface 'RS 232 - Chip' can not be used if the magnetic encoding module is
integrated in the printer.
In this case, the use of 'transparent mode' (<ESC> 4 / <ESC> 5) is also not
possible.
Possible Combination
• Magnetic encoder + hopper
5.2 Contact Chip Encoder
5.2.1 General Information

information as well as print onto and erase the TRW surface of the card all in one
