Properties to view the type of operating system installed on your computer.
4. From the Start menu, click on Settings, and then click on Printers.

STEP 3: Install the TROY
NOTE: The Hewlett-Packard PCL 5e printer driver must be installed on the host computer
prior to loading the TROY support files (refer to STEP 2 on the previous page).
Support Files for Microsoft® Windows
For 1320 Printer see page 5
™
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.
