Selecting Security
Options (cont.)
T O ENABLE / DISABLE PRINTER SECURITY OPTIONS :
1. From the Main Window, click on Settings, and
then click on Security Options.
2. Click on the down-arrow at the right of each
selection box to choose the desired security
option. If you are planning to use the
encryption/decryption feature, you must enter a
decryption password (or pass phrase) in order
for the printer to decrypt the encrypted data sent
from the host computer. The same password
must be used in the TROY Port Monitor.
NOTE: To maximize the security of the encrypted data, avoid using common words (i.e., starship, zebra,
wallflower, etc.) or common groups of words or phrases (i.e., My dog spot, My favorite printer, The red car was
fast, etc.) for the decryption password. TROY recommends using complex or unusual groups of words (i.e., Stars
fall never for color blue down out of sky, or Grass greener hillsides bestow graces of charm, etc.) or if using a
single password, select a unique set of alternating numbers and letters (i.e., x23y4a2, or 6x2kyzb8a).
3. After security options are set, click on Update Printer to send the new settings to the printer. All previous
configuration settings in the printer will be overwritten. Click on OK to proceed.
NOTE: TROY Security Printers do not send data back to the Printer Utility. Therefore, if an incorrect administrator
password is entered, none of the security options will be accepted by the printer, and the TROY Printer Utility will
not provide notification of the error.
