Encryption Tab
(MICR Secure EX
Printers Only)
The Encryption tab is used to enable/disable data encryption (Secure and Secure EX series printers only). Use
this feature to prevent fraudulent interception (eves-dropping) of your proprietary MICR check data being sent
over a public network.
Encryption Mode – select None for no data
encryption, or select Job Data Only to encrypt the
data being sent from your computer to the TROY
MICR Secure EX printer.
Encryption Method – select the desired encryption
method. The Triple-DES (DES3) 168-bit
encryption method has been widely used by banking
institutions; however, it is now being replaced by
the A.E.S. (American Encryption Standard) 128-bit
encryption method (formerly known as Rijndael).
The TwoFish 128-bit encryption method offers
faster encryption processing performance. All
encryption methods provide similar data encryption
security.
Encryption Password – enter the encryption
password (up to 128 characters in length) that
matches the TROY Secure EX printer’s current
encryption password (pass phrase) set by the system
administrator.
