An encoder object enables you to place RFID, magnetic stripe, and smart card technologies onto your template. These technologies can be used for encoded cards such as club membership cards, employee ID cards, or gift cards, or they can be used when there is the possibility that a barcode cannot be read and may require a transponder to broadcast the encoded data.
