you should verify that the emboss data (the source
operation) is contained in the
magnetic stripe data (the target operation).
Crosschecks can be used only with Emboss, Indent, and Magnetic Stripe
Read/Encode/Verify elements.

1. Under the Crosscheck | Operations tab, click Add. A new (blank) operation is
added to the list with a generic name (e.g., operation1, operation2).
2. Se

crosscheck.
3. Select the Source and
Target fields from the lists (only elements that exist in
the Card Setup will be available). For example, you could select Magstripe
Verify as the Source and Emboss as the Target.
The Source and Target fields must be different.
4. Enter any characters you want the crosscheck to disregard in the Ignore
Characters text box. For example, if the source field is an account number that
contains spaces in the string, you would enter a space in this field.
A possible complication is that the source operation may contain
characters not included in the target operation. Using the previous
example, the Emboss operation may have spaces between first, middle,
and last names, while the data in the Magnetic Stripe operation is
encoded without spaces. Using the Ignore Characters text box, you can
specify which characters to ignore in the source operation.
5. To remove a crosscheck, select one from the list, and then click Remove.
When a job is run using this Card Setup, t
