The Datacard 160 Encoder is designed for low volume use where data to be encoded may be input through an attached keyboard or through a PC computer. This unit can read and/or write on standard mag-stripe track(s) 1 (IATA) and/or 2 (ABA). The Datacard 160 Encoder is suitable for reading Hi-Coercivity (HiCo) or Lo-Coercivity (LoCo) encoding and for writing Lo-Coercivity (LoCo) encoding. Features a single manual card feed.
The PES Mag-Stripe LoCo/HiCo Upgrade is designed to provide an efficient method to convert your equipment that only has LoCo encoding into an embosser that can do LoCo encoding and HiCo encoding on all three tracks. The unit is switchable for ease of selection between LoCo & HiCo. With many card companies starting to require HiCo (2750 Orsted) encoding, the PES Upgrade is a cost effective method to stay competitive in the challenging plastic card personalization business.
