Applications
Verifying Windows Font Support
The TROY Printer Utility provides the ability to generate a Windows Security Font, Windows Barcode Font, and
PCL Security/Barcode Font demonstration page. Use the Windows Security Font demonstration page if you are
using a Windows-based printing application, or use the PCL Security/Barcode Font demonstration page if you
are using a non-Windows-based printing application. Use these demonstration pages to verify the TROY
Security fonts generated by your printer.
If you are using a non-Windows application to print MICR documents, the escape sequence for each font must be
programmed into the application in order to “call” each of the selected fonts. The <Esc> character is ASCII
character number 27 (hexadecimal number 1B). Refer to Section 3 – Using TROY Fonts for the specific escape
sequence (displayed above each character map) used to call each of the TROY fonts.
To verify that the TROY Windows font support files were properly installed on your system, demonstration
documents are provided through the TROY Printer Utility in Windows that can be printed out to visually identify
all security and/or barcode fonts downloaded to the TROY printer. Make sure your TROY printer is properly
setup, powered ON, and is online before printing the Windows Security Font or Windows Barcode Font
Demonstration page(s).
TO PRINT THE WINDOWS SECURITY (MICR) FONT DEMONSTRATION PAGE:
1. From the Main Window, click on the printer you wish to manage.
2. From the Main Window, click on File, Print, and then click on Windows Security (MICR) Font Demo. The
printer will automatically print the Windows Security Font Demonstration page (see example on next page).
3. Compare the actual TROY security fonts (the actual fonts generated by your printing system) shown in the
right-hand column with the facsimile image of these fonts printed in the center column (a digitized image
designed to look exactly like the actual fonts generated by your system – see example on the next page).
If the support files were properly installed, the actual TROY security and/or barcode fonts displayed in the
right-hand column should appear identical to the facsimile fonts displayed in the center column. If the actual
fonts do not match the facsimile fonts printed on the demonstration document (fonts not printed correctly or
fonts missing on the printout), review the installation steps in this document. If further assistance is required,
contact TROY Technical Support.

The TROY MICR E-13B and CMC-7 MICR fonts have been specifically engineered for your TROY Security
Printing Solution to ensure the highest quality MICR printing in the industry. The TROY font collection
provides seamless integration and security within your Windows-based check printing application. All TROY
fonts are permanently programmed into the TROY Font DIMM to ensure consistent high-quality MICR printing
and to prevent unauthorized use of these fonts on another printing system. Your TROY Security Printing
Solution includes the following fonts:
• TROY MICR Font (E-13B and CMC-7)
• TROY Security Font (English and Spanish)
• TROY Convenience Fonts (Enhanced, Large and Small)
• TROY Reverse Helvetica Font
• TROY OCR Fonts (type A and B)
• British Pound and Euro symbols
• TROY POSTNET and Barcode Fonts (not available for TROY 2300 Font DIMM Kits)
The following paragraphs provide some basic information for accessing and using the TROY fonts. It is
important that these fonts are kept secure to prevent unauthorized use and that the fonts remain unaltered to
ensure accurate rendering by your printer. All TROY fonts are permanently programmed into the TROY Font
DIMM and cannot be directly accessed through external means.
To access the TROY fonts in a Windows environment, you must first install the Windows printer driver for your
TROY 2015 Font DIMM printer or HP 2015 LaserJet printer if installing the TROY Font DIMM Kit. Follow the
instructions in TROY Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM Kit Quick-Start Guide to install the printer driver
and Windows support files, enabling you to select these fonts from any Windows-based application. To print the
TROY E13-B and CMC-7 MICR fonts, your printer must be set to MICR enabled mode, and a TROY MICR
toner cartridge must be installed in the printer. Many commercial MICR check-printing applications are preprogrammed to access the TROY MICR fonts.
If you are using a non-Windows application to print MICR documents, the escape sequence for each font must be
programmed into your check-printing application in order to “call” each of the selected fonts. The <Esc>
character is ASCII character number 27 (hexadecimal number 1B). Refer to the end of this section for each
escape sequence (displayed above each character map) used to call each TROY font.

The E-13B MICR font (TROY E-13B, TROY CMC-7) can be used for printing the MICR line in many countries,
including the United States. In some European and Latin American countries, the CMC-7 MICR font is used
instead. MICR document processing requires that the MICR characters be precise in size, shape, and spacing.
For this reason, the TROY MICR font is supplied as a TrueType font; it must not be altered by scaling or other
size manipulation. TROY can provide customer support for your MICR applications only if you use the supplied
TROY MICR fonts.
Your TROY Security Printing Solution includes a large, small and enhanced convenience amount font (TROY
ECF, TROY LCF, TROY SCF). These fonts consist of numbers with their alphabetic spellings placed directly
below the numerical character. These fonts are designed for use in the Legal Amount field only (located directly
below the Payee field). You can enter alphanumeric symbols representing the amount of the check into this field.
The TROY Security font (TROY SECURITY, TROY SECURITY SPANISH) is designed to prevent fraudulent alteration
to the Amount field on the check. The font consists of numbers with their alphabetic spellings placed directly
below the numerical character with a wavy lined pattern running through each character. These fonts are
designed for use in the Legal Amount field only (located directly below the Payee field on the check). You can
enter numeric symbols representing the amount of the check into this field. During document processing,
convenience amounts may be visually read and encoded on the check by bank personnel. In this case, a large
Security Amount font may best meet your bank’s requirements.
The TROY OCR fonts (TROY OCR-A AND TROY OCR-B) are used to print any information (names, addresses,
amounts) on the check that is to be read by automated readers using optical character recognition.
The TROY Reverse Helvetica font is used to print names and addresses on the back of transparent envelope
windows for use in pressure-seal machines.
The POSTNET (Postal Numeric Encoding Technique) font (TROY POSTNET) is used to represent the nine-digit
postal zip code below the postal address line. Using the POSTNET font on your mailing envelopes and postcards
will significantly decrease postal processing time and reduce the chance of errors when manual data entry is
required at the post office.
The British Pound and European currency symbols are used in place of the U.S. dollar sign for the respective
European country and can be selected to print in the audit reports.
Section 3 Using TROY Fonts
Using Printer Fonts and Screen Fonts
In addition to the TROY printer
fonts that are permanently
programmed into the TROY Font
DIMM, the TROY screen fonts
have been developed for screen
display use only as a visual
reference and for making positional
adjustments to the MICR line. The
TROY screen fonts display
differently than the actual printer
fonts in order to prevent
unauthorized printing using the
MICR screen fonts on other
Windows-installed printers.
If the E-13B MICR screen font is
used for printing, the inversely
printed (white characters on a black
background) MICR screen font will
not be readable by the bank
reader/sorter machines. The
uniquely displayed screen fonts
ensure that the MICR font printed
on your MICR documents is
generated by the TROY Font
DIMM and not by the Windows
operating system using the resident
TrueType™ font. The TROY screen
fonts are provided on the TROY
Font DIMM Printer and Font
DIMM Kit CD supplied with your
TROY product.
Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM Kit User’s Guide -- Document #50-70433-001 Rev. A 3-3
Section 3 Using TROY Fonts
MICR Font Guidelines
The TROY E-13B and CMC-7 MICR fonts were developed using strict specifications designed specifically for
high-speed magnetic-read processing. To maintain these strict specifications, the TROY MICR fonts were
designed as non-scalable fonts (fixed fonts) that are fixed in pitch (spacing) and point size (height). Because
Windows TrueType™ technology allows fonts to be scalable by changing the point size, it is imperative to
maintain the 12-point size of the MICR fonts installed in Windows. Selecting a point size other than 12-point for
the MICR font in Windows will not visibly enlarge or reduce the size of the characters; however, the horizontal
spacing will be affected. Any alteration to the spacing of the characters will result in incorrect placement of the
MICR characters in the MICR line at the bottom of your checks, causing your financial documents to be rejected
by the bank.
The Convenience Amount fonts were also designed as non-scalable fonts, but can be changed (increased or
decreased) from the default point size to meet your check printing requirements. Changing the point size of a
fixed font in Windows will only affect the horizontal spacing of the characters and not affect the vertical size of
the characters. The TROY Enhanced Convenience Amount font and TROY Security font were designed as
scalable fonts that can be changed (increased or decreased) from the default point size to meet your check
printing requirements.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you verify the MICR line at the bottom of your printed checks using the TROY
MICR Document Template (p/n 54-17373-001) to verify the positioning of each character. Refer to the TROY MICR
Basics Handbook for details (provided in PDF format on the TROY Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM Kit CD
supplied with your TROY Font DIMM product).
Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM Kit User’s Guide -- Document #50-70433-001 Rev. A 3-4
Section 3 Using TROY Fonts
Font Character Mapping
Each character or symbol in a font set corresponds to a specific ASCII (American Standard Code for Information
Interchange) number (e.g., the capital letter “A” = ASCII number 65). Pressing a key on your computer
keyboard automatically generates the ASCII number (32 through 127) associated with the character or symbol
displayed on the key. Likewise, any character or symbol not represented on your computer keyboard (ASCII
numbers above 127) can be accessed by manually entering the associated ASCII number using the numeric
keypad.
The fonts provided on the TROY Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM Kit CD have each of the characters and
symbols in each font set (shown on the following pages) “mapped” (associated) to standard computer keyboard
characters using the corresponding ASCII number for each character and symbol on the keyboard.
For example, the transit symbol (one of the industry-standard symbols used in a MICR line at the bottom of a
check) contained in the TROY E-13B MICR character table (shown on page 3-8) does not exist on a standard
computer keyboard but has been “mapped” to the standard ASCII keyboard capital letter “A”, designated as
ASCII number 65.
Therefore, after loading and then selecting the TROY E-13B MICR Font, typing the capital letter “A” on your
computer keyboard will produce the MICR transit symbol instead of the capital letter “A”. The TROY E-13B
MICR character table (shown on page 3-8) associates the transit symbol with ASCII number 65 (the same ASCII
number used for the capital letter “A” if you had selected a standard ASCII font set instead of the TROY E-13B
MICR font set).

Section 3 Using TROY Fonts
Determining a Character Mapping
Accessing Unmapped Characters
To determine which key on your computer keyboard that a TROY character or symbol is “mapped” to, simply
compare the ASCII number of the selected TROY character or symbol to the same ASCII number listed in the
Standard ASCII Character Map (shown on the next page) to determine which keyboard key can be used to
access the selected TROY character or symbol.
Some of the font sets provided on the TROY Font DIMM Printer and
Font DIMM Kit CD contain more characters or symbols than can be
“mapped” to the available keys on a standard computer keyboard. In
this case, these characters can be accessed by manually entering the
ASCII number (see example at right) designated for each character
(refer to the character tables on the following pages). The hexadecimal
number shown below the ASCII number is used for programming
mainframe computers.
To access a character or symbol that is not “mapped” to one of the keys on your Windows computer keyboard,
you can manually enter the ASCII number by holding down the ALT key on your keyboard, entering the associated
ASCII number for the character you wish to access, and then releasing the ALT key.
NOTE: You must use the numerical keypad on your keyboard to enter the ASCII number. The number keys along
the top of the keyboard will not work for this application.
