Step 6: Exchange the card sides 
 
As seen in the last step, for non-blank cards, the position of the magnetic stripe or contact chip or 
both must be adjusted to fit the layout. While the Rotation-button rotated the card on both sides, 
the Exchange-button allows to swap the front and back sides if the magnetic stripe or the chip are 
shown at the wrong side of the layout. 
 
Magnetic stripe: 
The stripe can either be on the front or the back side of the layout
 
Contact chip: 
The chip can either be on the front or the back side of the layout
 
The following illustrations show some examples of magnetic stripe and chip cards and a 
combination of both types and the effect of the rotate-button. 
 
Note:  The same applies for one-sided cards.
