Using TROY Digital Images with Microsoft

Windows
™
(Hewlett-Packard Printers)
The Hewlett-Packard PCL 5e printer driver must be installed on the host computer prior to loading the
TROY Digital Image support files.
Please have the TROY Digital Image Data Sheet available for this process. Information from this
documentation will be needed to complete the installation.
Before access to the TROY Digital Images is available, the following process must be completed. This
process installs the necessary support files/resources required into the Microsoft Windows operating
system environment. This process must be completed on each computer that requires access to the
digital images.
Installing the TROY Digital Image Printer Fonts for Windows
™
98SE / ME
1. Close all applications before installing the TROY Digital Image support files.
2. Insert the TROY CD/floppy into your computer's CD-ROM/floppy drive. NOTE: If the support files
were sent by email or downloaded from the website, extract the support
files to a temporary folder and make a note of the location. When reference is made to access these
files, navigate to the folder that contains the extracted support files.
3. From the Start menu, click on Settings, and then click on Printers.
4. Right-click on your printer icon, and then click on Properties from the pop-up menu. If multiple
printers are installed, make sure the correct printer icon is selected. Remember the printer selected must
be the PCL 5e language driver, not Postscript or other printer language.
5. Click on the Configure tab located at the top of the Properties window.
6. Within the Other Options category, click on the More button. Some printer driver versions may not
display the Other Options category. If this is the case, simply skip to the next step.
7. Within the Fonts category, place a check mark in the Font DIMMs (or Font Cards) checkbox, and then
click on the Configure button (with some printer driver software versions, the Configure button may
already be “clicked”). A new window will open labeled Configure Font DIMMs (or Configure Font
Cards).
8. Click on the Add button to open the Add Font DIMM (or Add Font Card) window.
9. Click on the Browse button to open a Windows Explorer-style window. Click on the down-arrow in the
Drives box to select the CD-ROM drive on your computer. Double-click on the Support Files folder
from the list of folders, double-click on the HPD files folder, and then double-click on the Imaging
folder.
10. Refer to the TROY Digital Image Data Sheet for the section labeled Windows Support Information
and note the Font Metrics section, which displays the Windows support file and point size (9, 12, or 72
point size) for your TROY Digital Image(s).
11. Double-click on the appropriate folder: Image (9 points), Image 12 points), or Image (72 points), and
then click on the file in that folder (example: 72201210.hpd), and then click on ADD to add the digital
images. Windows can support up to ten digital images. If the Font Metrics section of the TROY Digital
Image Data Sheet does not have a file name but states "Custom Metrics Required”, contact the TROY
Digital Imaging Department for information on obtaining Windows support files for special orders.
12. Click on Open or OK (the displayed window may vary depending on the operating system being used).
With some printer drivers, the Add Font DIMM (or Add Font Card) window will appear. If this
window appears, simply click on OK to close the window.
