The TROY Reverse Helvetica font is used to print names and addresses on the back of transparent envelope
windows for use in pressure-seal machines.
To prevent fraudulent production of checks, TROY MICR series printers can automatically print “VOID”, “DO
NOT CASH”, “NON-NEGOTIABLE” or any other user-defined phrase across the face of any check that was
printed on any printer other than a TROY MICR series printer. The TROY AutoProtect
™ font (T ROY A UTO -
P ROTECT ) provides a visual safeguard to identify checks printed by printers without TROY MICR toner or the
TROY MICR font.
The TROY Microprint font is used to print security messages on checks that cannot be copied by photocopying.
The POSTNET (Postal Numeric Encoding Technique) font (T ROY POSTNET) is used to represent the nine-digit
postal zip code below the postal address line. Using the POSTNET font on your mailing envelopes and postcards
will significantly decrease postal processing time and reduce the chance of errors when manual data entry is
required at the post office.
The British Pound and European currency symbols are used in place of the U.S. dollar sign for the respective
European country and can be selected to print in the audit reports.
TROY barcode fonts provide all the symbolic figures necessary to print correctly formatted and scanable
barcodes from your TROY printer. Your TROY MICR Solution provides the following barcodes:
• Code 39
• Code 128
• Interleaved 2 of 5
• EAN 13
• EAN 8
• UPC–A
• UPC–E
Similar to the TROY MICR fonts, the TROY barcodes are selected by sending a PCL5 font selection sequence
(escape sequence) to the printer in a PCL5 job. However, unlike the TROY MICR fonts, implementing barcodes
requires additional programming parameters that must be precisely defined in order for the barcode to print
correctly. Therefore, it is recommended that all barcode programming be referred to qualified personnel.
