Re-Mapping
Printer Paper
Trays
Tray mapping can be used to enhance MICR printing security by redirecting software access to printer paper
trays containing check stock to a paper tray containing plain paper. If you have implemented user names and
passwords, then only approved users will be able to disable the tray re-mapping configuration and access blank
check paper.
For example, with all of your paper trays re-mapped to pull only from paper tray #1, the check stock stored in
paper tray #2 will not be available for any other software program, regardless of the paper tray selected by the
software program. You can also use this feature if you are using an application that has a printer driver designed
to communicate with an older laser printer (i.e., HP LaserJet III or earlier). The tray calling sequence for these
earlier printers with a dual tray system is reversed from present day standards (i.e., LaserJet III printer tray #1 is
called as paper tray #2 on the newer printers). Refer to the next page for common tray map numbers.
T
O MODIFY THE PRINTER TRAY MAPPING
:
1. From
the
Main Window, click on Settings,
and then click on Tray Mapping.
2. Click in the Tray Map box corresponding
to each printer paper tray you wish to re-
map. After all desired paper tray re-
mapping values have been entered, click on
Update Printer to send the new settings to
the printer. Click on OK to proceed. All
previous paper tray map settings in the
printer will be overwritten.
3. From the printer control panel, select
Configure Device, Printing, and then
scroll down to the PCL option.
4. Under the PCL option, scroll down to
Media Source Mapping and select Classic.
NOTE: The tray map settings will only take effect if this option is enabled in the Security Options screen in the
TROY Printer Utility and if the printer’s media source option is set to Classic. If this option is disabled in the
Security Options screen, the factory default tray map settings will be active. The tray ID numbers shown in the
Tray Mapping screen may not represent the actual tray numbers of your printer. Refer to the Hewlett-Packard
Printer User’s Guide for the default paper tray-mapping configuration.
NOTE: For information on setting up the TROY IRD 9050 1
