If you are using a non-Windows application to print MICR documents, the escape sequence for each font must be
programmed into your check-printing application in order to “call” each of the selected fonts. The
character is ASCII character number 27 (hexadecimal number 1B). Refer to the end of this section for each
escape sequence (displayed above each character map) used to call each TROY font.
The E-13B MICR font (T
ROY E-13B) can be used for printing the MICR line in many countries, including the
United States. In some European and Latin American countries, the CMC-7 MICR font is used instead. TROY
can provide customer support for your MICR applications only if you use the supplied TROY MICR fonts.
The CMC-7 MICR font (T
ROY CMC-7) can be used for printing the MICR line in many countries, including
some European and Latin American countries. TROY can provide customer support for your MICR applications
only if you use the supplied TROY MICR fonts.
Your TROY Security Printing Solution includes a large, small and enhanced convenience amount font (T
ROY
ECF, T ROY LCF, T ROY SCF). These fonts consist of numbers with their alphabetic spellings placed directly
below the numerical character. These fonts are designed for use in the Legal Amount field only (located directly
below the Payee field). You can enter alphanumeric symbols representing the amount of the check into this field.
The TROY Security font (T
ROY S ECURITY , T ROY S ECURITY S PANISH ) is designed to prevent fraudulent alteration
to the Amount field on the check. The font consists of numbers with their alphabetic spellings placed directly
below the numerical character with a wavy lined pattern running through each character. These fonts are
designed for use in the Legal Amount field only (located directly below the Payee field on the check). You can
enter numeric symbols representing the amount of the check into this field. During document processing,
convenience amounts may be visually read and encoded on the check by bank personnel. In this case, a large
Convenience Amount font may best meet your bank’s requirements.
The TROY Messaging font is designed specifically to capture user-defined non-check data that can be included
in the TROY audit reports and/or the TROYmark
™ background image on the check. The messaging font is
visible on the screen as a generic typeface, but will not print.
The TROY OCR fonts (T
ROY OCR-A AND T ROY OCR-B) are used to print any information (names, addresses,
amounts) on the check that is to be read by automated readers using optical character recognition.
The TROY Reverse Helvetica font is used to print names and addresses on the back of transparent envelope
windows for use in pressure-seal machines.
