STEP 3
: Install the TROY Support Files for Microsoft
®
Windows
™
NOTE: The Hewlett-Packard PCL 5e printer driver must be installed on the host computer prior
to loading the TROY support files.
The TROY metrics file contains the required escape sequences that are used to “call” the TROY security and/or
barcode fonts installed in the TROY Security Printing Solution (via the TROY MICR DIMM). 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.

Configure button (with some printer driver software versions, the Configure button may already be
“clicked”). A new window will open labeled Configure Font DIMMs.

the operating system being used). With some printer drivers, the Add Font DIMM window will appear.
If this window appears, click on OK to close the window.
11. Within the Configure Font DIMMs window, verify the installation by clicking on the Font DIMM
Name: TROY Security Font Collection or TROY International Security Font Collection listed under
Installed DIMMs. Within the Fonts on DIMM list, the TROY E-13B (enabled) along with other
TROY fonts will be displayed.

and select the TroyBAR.hpd file. Verify the installation by clicking on the Font DIMM Name: TROY
