I am using a p330i printer for my encoding via the cardfive vision 8.7 professional software. I am using a loco card and numbers are what I want to encode so I am using track 2 for it. However, everytime I try to encode using the printer, the printer ejects the card with the prompt "encoding error". This happens after the printer has displayed "mag encoding" for like a minute with the card going back and forth under the print head. Please how can I fix this error?
You can change the equipment at first.I can sugges to use https://eltra-trade.com/catalog/sick-encoder its powerful encoder which we often use during work on manufacture. I hope you can also to check this tool.
Try to update firmware. check if driver can read the encoder from a used card.

Hi There,
First of all, for Windows Vista, you need to be using the very latest driver (V6.02).
You can download this by following the link below;
http://www.magicardonline.net
Just enter your printer's serial number in the QuickSearch box.
Please Note: - With CardFive software, you need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the printer list, then select the printer driver with the Windows logo next to it called 'Magicard Printer Series'.
If you still can't print from the CardFive software, can you print the Windows test page?
I hope this helps.
Regards,
MC.

Most likely your Mag-stripe info is missing from the card project in IDworks.
If you imported your projects from preface, its likly the box to include mag-stripe config was not transfer d.
enter idworks designer and click VIEW then field connections, there should be some info tied you mag-stripe field 1,2, or 3 of not there is the problem.
Next check printer plug ins in IDworks admin to make sure the mag-stripe plugin is installed. Also i would check Datacard.com Download section make sure you have newest and correct driver for your OS
if none of this works, uninstall everything (exporting projects) and reinstall.
Mag-strpe encoders can become defective, the encoder may need to be replaced.

What is the error exactly? It just says "command error"?

SOURCE: Hi There. I have Tally
The
check ribbon message on the 2265 indicates the printer is detecting
problems with moving the print head. You have ruled out the ribbon as
being the cause of the problem by using ribbons from another printer.
Before suspecting other components check the printer model, if the
printer is a 2265+ check to ensure the correct ribbon is used. Note the
ribbon for the 2265+ is different to the 2265 ribbon. The 2265+ has a
ribbon sensor to detect the ribbon moving. If the printer is a 2265+ the
part number for the ribbon should be 062471.
If the correct ribbon is used the problem could be the timing strip
which could be dirty or warn. Try cleaning this and check for damage.
The problem can also be caused by a dirty or lubricated carriage shaft,
the carriage shaft should be clean and dry running - Keep clean of any
type of lubricant.
The problem can also be caused by the timing station on the carriage, the carriage motor.
