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 the TROY printer. Make sure your TROY printer is
properly setup, powered ON, and is online before printing the Windows Security Font and/or Windows Barcode
Font Demonstration page(s).

TROY

SECURITY FONT

/

BARCODE FONT DEMONSTRATION PAGE

(

S

):

NOTE: TROY Secure EX series printers must have the printer keylock switch

set to “Print MICR” to enable printing of the Windows Security Font
Demonstration page.

1. From the TROY Printer Utility

Main Window, click on the printer
you wish to manage.

2. If you have already set an

administrator password, type the
password into the password box at
the bottom of the Main Window. If
a password is not set, then leave the
password box blank.

3. 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.

4. 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 character is ASCII
character number 27 (hexadecimal number 1B). Refer to the TROY Security Printing Solutions User’s Guide
for the specific escape sequence (displayed above each character map) used to call each of the TROY fonts.
