STEP 3: Install the TROY
NOTE: The Hewlett-Packard PCL 5e printer driver must be installed on the host computer prior to loading the

Support Files for Microsoft® Windows
™
The TROY metrics file contains the required escape sequences that are used to “call” the TROY security and/or
optional barcode fonts installed in your TROY Security Printing Solution (via the TROY Font Card). 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 TROY MICR and security 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 TROY MICR and security fonts at print time. If the TROY metrics file is not properly
installed, the TROY TrueType screen fonts will print in place of the TROY MICR and security 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 Card, 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 Card Kit CD supplied with your TROY Font DIMM Kit.
NOTE: Windows 2000/XP operating systems do not require installation of the TROY screen fonts.

STEP 5: Test the TROY Font Support for Microsoft
®
Windows™
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 your printer. Make sure your printer is properly setup,
powered ON, and is online before printing the Windows Security Font and/or Windows Barcode Font
Demonstration page(s).
TO PRINT THE TROY SECURITY FONT / BARCODE FONT DEMONSTRATION PAGE(S):
1. From the TROY Printer Utility
Main Window, click on the printer
you wish to manage, and then verify
that the correct TROY Security
Printing Solution is selected from
the drop-down list at the bottom of
the window.
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.
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 correctly generated by your system – refer to the example
shown 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.
Accessing TROY Fonts Using Non-Windows Applications
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 in the TROY Font
Card Kit User’s Guide for the specific escape sequence used to call each TROY font.
