™
(Microsoft
®
Windows
™ Vista, 7 and Server 2008 proceed to STEP 2 b)
IMPORTANT: Use only the TROY Security Printing Solutions CD to install the Hewlett-Packard PCL 5e printer
driver designated for your Hewlett-Packard or TROY printer. Some of the steps listed below
and/or software screens may differ slightly in appearance depending on your operating system.
IMPORTANT: If connecting a TROY printer to a print server, load and configure the TROY printer driver on the
print server only. Do not load the printer driver on the local workstation(s). Load only the screen
fonts on local workstation(s), and then “Connect” to the TROY printer attached to the print server.
1. Close all applications before installing the HP PCL 5e printer driver. IMPORTANT: If you plan to use
the USB interface to connect the printer to the host computer, do not connect the USB cable to the
printer until the HP PCL 5e printer driver has been installed on the host computer.
2. Insert the TROY Security Printing Solutions CD into your computer CD drive.
3. Before beginning the installation process, you will need to know the operating system you are using on
your computer. If you already know the operating system you are using, proceed directly to step #4. If
you are not sure, right-click on My Computer (located on the Windows desktop), and then click on
Properties to view the type of operating system installed on your computer.
4. From the Start menu, click on Settings, and then click on Printers.
5. Double-click on Add Printer, click on Next, choose Local Printer, and then click on Next. If you are
using Windows 2000/XP, skip down to Step 12, and then proceed with Steps 6 through 11.
6. From the Add Printer Wizard window, click on Have Disk.
7. From the Install From Disk window, click on Browse.
8. From the Open window, click on the down-arrow in the Drives box to select the CD-ROM drive.
9. Double-click on the appropriate folder for the operating system you are using (e.g., Win98, etc.).
10. Double-click on the appropriate subfolder for the model printer you are using (e.g., 4014, 4515). If
applicable for your model of printer, be sure to select either the USB or standard parallel (LPT1) printer.
Click on OK to close the Open window, and then click on OK to close the Install From Disk window.
IMPORTANT: All TROY IRD printers must use the 4300 printer driver, regardless of your printer model.
11. Select the appropriate printer driver for your printer model, and then click on Next to continue the driver
installation. You will be given the choice to either replace or keep the existing driver. It is
recommended that you always replace the existing driver. Click on Next to continue. If you are using
Windows 2000/XP, skip down to Step 13.
12. Select the appropriate printer port from the displayed list (usually LPT1), and then click on Next to
continue. If you are using Windows 2000/XP, go back and perform Steps 6 through 11 to complete the
driver installation. For Windows 98SE/ME operating systems, the printer name will be highlighted.
13. For easy printer identification, it is recommended that you change the highlighted Hewlett-Packard
printer name to the name of the TROY printer you are installing (e.g., TROY MICR 4515 Secure EX
Printer) by typing over the highlighted printer name. If you want to use this printer as your default
printer, be sure to select this printer as the default printer. If you are using Windows 2000/XP, choose
to either share or not share your printer over the network.
14. Click on Yes to print a test page to verify that your printer driver was installed correctly, and then click
on Next to continue.
