Hi!

I am working with a Eltron P310 card printer, i need to know how can i write magnetic band information from VFP. Can anyone help me??

Thanks a lot.

 
First do you have a Card Writer?
This is a device that connects to the serial port that allows you to write data to a magnetic stripe card. They are not cheap either ~$600.00
Then it should be a matter of sending ASCII data to the port.

Hi Sigma123

Do you have the magnetic encoding version of the P310?

If so then you can get it to encode with the eltron command set through the paralle port.

If its a standard p310 then you can buy the mag encoding module. Please check out our site at
look under card printer products or just contact our card staff who will point you in the right direction

hope this is of some use
