STEP 3:
Install the TROY Support Files for Microsoft
®
Windows
™
NOTE: The Hewlett-Packard PCL 5e printer driver must be installed on the host computer prior to loading the
TROY support files (refer to STEP 2 on the previous page).
The TROY metrics file contains the required escape sequences that are used to “call” the TROY security and/or
barcode fonts installed in the TROY Security Printing Solution (via the TROY Memory Card). When properly
installed, the TROY metrics file will be associated with the PCL 5e printer driver used by your TROY printer to
enable printing of the actual fonts installed in the printer. By associating the metrics file with the printer driver,
the TROY TrueType screen fonts will be automatically replaced with the actual TROY fonts at print time. If the
TROY metrics file is not properly installed, then the TROY TrueType screen fonts will print instead of the
actual TROY installed printer fonts.
