Understanding TROY’s Flash-File Feature
TROY Security Printing Solutions contain a non-volatile flash-file system that can be used to store printing
resources (company logos, forms, macros, etc.). TROY MICR Secure printers, MICR Secure EX printers, and
MICR Secure DIMM/Memory Card Kits have a flash-file system that is divided into a secure and public memory
area. Digitized signatures, logos, and other proprietary printer resources are typically stored in the secure area
of the flash-file system to prevent unauthorized access to these resources. If user names and passwords are
set up by the administrator, each user must log in to the printer using a valid user name and password to obtain
access to these secure resources.
Public resources, such as commonly used company logos, forms, macros, or other non-proprietary printer
resources, can be stored in the public memory area of the flash-file system for access by all users without
requiring valid user login. All TROY Security Printing Solutions (except the MICR Font DIMM/Memory Card Kit)
contain a public flash-file system.
By entering a valid administrator password, the administrator can use the TROY Printer Utility to add or delete
these resources from the secure and/or public memory areas of the flash-file system.

NOTE: Resources stored in the printer’s flash-file system will remain resident even when the printer power is
switched OFF.
NOTE: Only “clean” PCL macros can be saved and executed from the flash-file system. The macro cannot
contain any PJL (Printer Job Language) or Esc E (reset) commands. If a macro was created in Windows by
printing to a file using a PCL 5e printer driver, then you must open the macro file in a Hex editor and manually
remove all PJL and Esc E commands before the macro can be used with the printer. Please refer to the
Hewlett-Packard PCL (Page Control Language) manual for additional information.
