Printer Keylock
To prevent the fraudulent use of your TROY Secure and Secure EX series printer or printer resources, TROY has
provided additional hardware-based security features to reduce the risk of unauthorized personnel using your
MICR printer or accessing the check stock stored inside the printer paper tray. These features are available only
on TROY Secure and Secure EX series printers.
The 3-position keylock provides controlled access to your TROY Secure and
Secure EX series printer. By using the keylock, the printer’s secure resources
can be locked out (allowing only non-MICR documents to print) or the printer
can be completely disabled (no documents can be printed). If a print job is
initiated when the keylock is in the Printer Locked position, the printer
control panel will display the message
PRINTER LOCKED . The user may unlock
the printer (move the keylock to either of the other two positions) after a print
job has been sent to the printer and then press the GO button to proceed with
the print job without any loss of data.
NOTE: The printer keylock overrides all MICR mode settings selected in either
the TROY Printer Utility or the TROY Port Monitor.
Keylock Mode Functionality
MICR Locked MICR documents will not print. Non-MICR documents will print normally.
Printer Locked No documents can be printed. All printer-generated information and test pages are
locked out. The printer is completely disabled.
Print MICR Both MICR and non-MICR documents can be printed. A TROY MICR toner cartridge
must be installed to print MICR documents.
NOTE: Your TROY Secure and Secure EX series printer is shipped with two keys for the keylock. TROY strongly
recommends storing the spare key in a secured location.
