If the administrator has implemented user names and passwords, a valid user name and password must be
provided in the TROY Port Monitor or print job before any of the printer’s secure resources can be accessed or a
MICR print job can be printed. Refer to
page 2-15 in this section for detailed information.
The 3-position keylock switch allows the printer’s secure resources to be locked out
(allowing only non-MICR documents to print), or the printer can be completely
disabled (no documents can be printed). The printer keylock switch overrides all
MICR mode settings selected in either the TROY Printer Utility or the TROY Port
Monitor. Refer to
page 2-27 in this section for detailed information.
The Softlock feature prevents unauthorized printing of documents (selectable to lock out either MICR, non-
MICR, or all documents) by requiring that a valid 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) be entered at the
printer control panel before a job will print. The Softlock feature works in conjunction with the physical 3-
position printer keylock switch, adding an additional layer of security and providing an alternate method for
controlling access to print jobs. Refer to
page 4-10 for detailed information.
To prevent the printing of MICR documents with standard (non-MICR) toner, selected TROY MICR printing
solutions are designed to detect the presence of a TROY MICR toner cartridge installed inside the printer. A
MICR toner cartridge must be installed in the printer before printing MICR documents. Banks will reject all
checks not printed with MICR toner and you may be charged a manual processing fee for each rejected (machine-
unreadable) check. Refer to
page 2-9 in this section for detailed information.
