* Note: The “ ; ” is start sentinel and “ ? ” is end sentinel of tk2 & 3 of ISO format.
As an example the following information will be written to the card:
Track1: %ABC123?
Track2: ;12345?
Track3: ;12345?
We use three different data bits to write raw data on the cards. The procedures are listed as below:
08,

Set each track as 08.
First of all, set BPC command:
1B, 6F, 08, 08, 08
Present the information to the card encoder, as follows:
Start Field 1B6E1B73
Track1 header 1B01
Length 08
Track1 data C5B07814954E3E2A
Track header 1B02
Length 05
Track2 data 2B8849EAAF
Track3 header 1B03
Length 05
Track3 data 2B8849EAAF
Ending Field 3F1C
Transfer the track1 data to HEX under 08 bits:
B0 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 P

A 1 0 0 0 0 1 1

? 1 1 1 1 1 0 0
LRC 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
Calculate Odd Parity (P column)
If there is an Even Number of 1 ’ s in the row of data for each character, put a 1 in the P column. Other wise, put a 0 in
