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 T ROY security and/or barcode fonts installed in the TROY Security Printing Solution (via the TROY Memory Card). When properly installed, the TROY metrics file will be associated with the PCL 5e printer driver used by your TROY 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.

13. Close all remaining open windows. Please refer to the TROY Security Printing Solutions User’s Guide,
Section 7 – Using TROY Fonts before using the installed fonts.
Install the TROY Screen Fonts for Windows™ 98SE and ME Operating Systems
In addition to the TROY printer fonts that are permanently programmed into your TROY Security Printing Solution, 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 from a TROY Security Printing Solution and not fonts are provided on the TROY Security Printing Solutions CD supplied with your TROY Security Printing Solution.

These fonts are designed as non-scalable bitmapped fonts.
