Selecting Security
Options TROY Security Printing Solutions allow convenient enabling or disabling of the built-in security options to suit
your MICR printing needs. After entering the current administrator’s (ADMIN) password in the TROY Printer
Utility Main Window, the security options specific to your TROY Security Printing Solution can be individually
enabled or disabled (refer to the table below for a summary of these features).
In addition, you can also choose an alternate ASCII escape character and enter a decryption password (MICR
Secure printers, MICR / IRD Secure EX printers, and MICR Secure Memory Card Kits only) using the Security
Options screen. Do NOT use the alternate escape character unless instructed by your system programmer or
TROY Technical Support. The following table summarizes these configurable security options:
