STEP 1:
Verify the HP Printer Firmware Version
Your HP printer’s firmware must be at the specified firmware version level or higher to ensure compatibility
with your TROY Font Memory Card. In the event that you need to update your printer’s firmware, the firmware
update files and instructions are available for download from the HP web site.
1. Print an HP configuration page by performing the following steps (Do NOT install the font memory card):
• Ensure the printer is powered on and the printer control panel displays READY.
• From the printer control panel, press the button, and then use the W button to select the
INFROMATION menu.
• Press the button, and then use the W button to select the PRINT CONFIGURATION menu.
• Press the press the button again to print the HP configuration page.
2. Look for the ‘ Firmware Datecode ’ in the ‘ Printer Information ’ section of the HP configuration
page (see example below) and compare it to the firmware datecode listed in the table below. If your HP
printer’s firmware datecode is older than the specified version listed in the table below, then the printer’s
firmware must be updated. If your HP printer requires a firmware update, refer to firmware update
instructions at the end of this document. Otherwise, proceed to STEP 2 to install the font memory card.
Example:
Firmware Datecode: 20040902 08.107.0
STEP 2:
Install the TROY MICR Toner Cartridge and TROY Font Card
1. Be sure to install a TROY MICR toner cartridge (purchased separately from TROY) in the same manner
as described for the standard Hewlett-Packard toner cartridge (refer to your Hewlett-Packard Getting
Started Guide for details). A MICR toner cartridge must be installed in your printer in order to print
MICR documents. For best results, TROY MICR toner cartridges are recommended. TROY’s high-
quality MICR toner is specifically designed for the MICR fonts on your TROY Font Memory Card.
2. Install the TROY Font Memory Card (supplied with your TROY Font Memory Card Kit) by using the
TROY Font Card Installation Guide provided in PDF format on the TROY Security Printing Solutions
CD. The TROY Font Card must be installed before proceeding to Step #3 on the next page.
