The following options are available:
Encoder Type: Specifies the smart card encoder type. All types that are supported by the current printer are listed.
Action: Specifies the action that the encoder performs at print time.
Data Location
The following options specify what part of the transponder should be programmed at print time and whether the programming is protected from later reprogramming:
Location: Specifies the location of the data to be encoded into the smart card object.
Start Block: Specifies the block in the circuit where the printer starts to write information. A block is a set of bits (typically, eight bits). Some smart card types reserve certain blocks, so you must specify the block at which the printer should begin.
BarTender suggests a starting block. You should change this setting only if you are thoroughly familiar with the specifications of your smart card type.
Write Protect Blocks: Specifies that the smart card object's data cannot be changed after the printer has programmed it. Not available for all smart card types.
Data Format
Data Type: Specifies the data format type. Whenever the data format type is changed, the available data sources are updated to match the required data for the selected type.
For a list of all available data format types, refer to Available Data Format Types for RFID and Smart Card Objects.
Encoder Options: Opens the printer driver's Smart Card Options dialog.
