Regular maintenance helps prolong the life
of the encoder and
ensure reliable operations. Listed below
are step-by-step
maintenance procedures.
Clean the magnetic head prior to use and
when the encoder
frequently flags usage errors under normal
circumstances.
1 . Place the cotton stripe of a dry
cleaning card as close to
the magnetic head as possible and swipe it
through the
guide slot for 5 to10 times.
2. In case of a very dirty magnetic
head, first moisten the
cotton stripe with cleaning solution or
alcohol then swipe
the cleaning card through the guide slot
for several times.
Proceed with dry cleaning for 2 to 3
times.

Please note the following when creating a
text file for file
encode:
The input data must comply with ISO 7810,
7811-1,2,3,4,5
standards or IBM format for passbook.
Each record must follow the format "%1
data?;2 data?+3
data?".
Do not separate track data into multiple
lines by inserting
the "Enter" key.
It is not necessary to include the start
sentinel (the first
character) and the end sentinel (the last
character) to
represent an empty track. For instance,
";222222222222222?" is a valid
representation of a track
2-only record.
The file extension must be ".txt" .
