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 (refer to STEP 2 on the previous page).
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 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.
Install the TROY Metrics File
1. Close all applications before installing the TROY Font support files.
2. Insert the TROY Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM Kit CD into your computer CD-ROM drive.
3. From the Microsoft Windows Start menu, click on Settings, and then click on Printers.

menu. If multiple printers are installed, make sure the correct printer icon is selected that corresponds to
your HP printer.

letter to select the CD-ROM drive on your computer.

double-click on the Domestic folder, and then click on OK to close the drive selection window. For
international products, double-click on the International folder.
9. Use the SHIFT key to select all the fonts located in the left-hand window named TROY Auto-Protect,
TROY PCM7, etc., and then click on Add to add those fonts. If you want to add an individual font, just
highlight that specific font name and click on the Add button. All the added fonts should be displayed
in the right-hand window.
NOTE: If the barcode option was purchased, repeat Steps 8 through 10. Choose the TROY Barcode PCM
file from the Barcode folder.
10. Close all remaining open windows. Please refer to the TROY Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM
Kit User’s Guide, Section 3 – Using TROY Fonts before using the installed fonts.
