Encryption Tab
(MICR Secure EX
Printers Only)
The Encryption tab is used to enable/disable data encryption. Use this feature to prevent fraudulent interception
(eves-dropping) of your proprietary MICR check data being sent over a public network.
Encryption Mode – select None for no data
encryption, or select Job Data Only to encrypt
the data being sent from your computer to the
TROY printer.
Encryption Method – select the desired
encryption method. The Triple-DES (DES3)
168-bit encryption method has been widely used
by banking institutions; however, it is now being
replaced by the AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) 128-bit encryption method (formerly
known as Rijndael). The TwoFish 128-bit
encryption method offers fast encryption
processing performance. All encryption methods
provide similar data encryption security.
Encryption Password – enter the encryption
password (up to 128 characters in length) that
matches the TROY printer’s current decryption
password (pass phrase) set by the system
administrator in the Printer Utility.
