Administrator
Name and
Password An administrator password is used within the TROY MICR solutions to secure the MICR printer features and
settings. The printer uses a permanent default user name (ADMIN) that cannot be deleted or modified, however,
the administrator password can be modified using the TROY Printer Utility or the printer control panel. The
administrator default password is blank (no password), however, administrators are encouraged to setup a unique
password to restrict access to the TROY MICR printer’s features and settings. After an administrator password is
set, all standard Hewlett-Packard printer features normally available through the printer control panel will remain
accessible to anyone without entering a password.
NOTE: The administrator’s password is stored in the printer’s non-volatile flash memory and will remain resident
even when the printer power is turned OFF and ON.
NOTE: It is the administrator’s responsibility to safeguard all name and password information, including printouts
and the electronic name and password lists (UPL files) saved on the administrator’s computer.
Although the administrator password can be set via the printer control panel, TROY strongly recommends using
the TROY Printer Utility to select or modify the administrator password (see note below). The TROY Printer
Utility will automatically update the printer’s administrator password whenever the password is changed in the
printer utility. However, changing the administrator password at the printer control panel will not update the
TROY Printer Utility password (no bi-directional communication). The printer’s administrator password and the
TROY Printer Utility password must be identical in order to access the printer features using the TROY Printer
Utility.
NOTE: Initially, the default password for the printer is blank (no password). To maintain printer security, it is
strongly recommended that the administrator change the password to prevent unauthorized access to the printer
control panel.
NOTE: As a security enhancement, the TROY MICR 4100 series printers will only allow a numeric password to be
entered via the printer control panel. If you plan to set and/or enter the administrator password via the printer
control panel instead of the TROY Printer Utility, you must choose a numeric password (no letters).
NOTE: If you plan to use the TROY Printer Utility exclusively to set or enter the administrator password
(recommended), then either letters or numbers may be used for the administrator passwor
