™
The TROY metrics file contains the required escape sequences that are used to “call” the T ROY security and/or
optional barcode fonts installed in your TROY Security Printing Solution (via the TROY Font DIMM). When
properly installed, the TROY metrics file will be associated with the PCL 5e printer driver used by your
Hewlett-Packard printer to enable printing of the actual fonts installed in the printer. By associating the metrics
file with the printer driver, the TROY TrueType screen fonts will be automatically replaced with the actual
TROY fonts at print time. If the TROY metrics file is not properly installed, then the TROY TrueType screen
fonts will print instead of the actual TROY installed printer fonts.

Install the TROY Screen Fonts for Windows™ 98SE, ME Operating Systems
In addition to the TROY printer fonts that are permanently programmed into your TROY Font DIMM, the
TROY screen fonts have been developed for 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 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 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 a TROY
Security Printing Solution and not
provided on the TROY Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM Kit CD supplied with your TROY Font
DIMM Kit.
NOTE: Windows 2000/XP operating systems do not require installation of the TROY screen fonts.
