Updating the
Printer Firmware
The TROY MICR DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) inside your MICR printer contains a re-writeable flash-
file system that can be conveniently updated by the administrator. It is important to safeguard the proprietary
resources (digital images of signatures, company logos, macros, etc.) stored in your printer’s flash-file system by
implementing the security features provided with your TROY MICR printing solution. The administrator can to
add or delete printer resources, or upgrade the MICR printer firmware (TROY’s proprietary MICR program
code) as new features become available from TROY. Use the TROY Printer Utility to install, print or delete
printer resources.
Firmware maintenance or feature upgrades developed by TROY Systems can be downloaded and installed using
the TROY Printer Utility. Update files are available from the TROY Web site or may be supplied by TROY on
removable media. After completing a firmware update, your MICR printer must be rebooted (printer power
switched OFF and ON) in order for the update to take effect. Some printers will display the “
CYCLE POWER ”
message on the printer control panel.
