Quick-Start Guide

STEP 2: Install the HP PCL 5e Printer Driver for Microsoft® Windows™

IMPORTANT: Use only the TROY Security Printing Solutions CD to install the Hewlett-Packard PCL 5e printer driver designated for your Hewlett-Packard or TROY printer. Some of the steps listed below and/or software screens may differ slightly in appearance depending on your operating system.

IMPORTANT: If connecting a TROY printer to a print server, load and configure the TROY printer driver on the print server only. Do not load the printer driver on the local workstation(s). Load only the screen fonts on local workstation(s), and then “Connect” to the TROY printer attached to the print server.

1.Close all applications before installing the HP PCL 5e printer driver.

2.Insert the TROY Security Printing Solutions CD into your computer CD drive.

3.Before beginning the installation process, you will need to know the operating system you are using on your computer. If you already know the operating system you are using, proceed directly to step #4. If you are not sure, right-click on My Computer (located on the Windows desktop), and then click on Properties to view the type of operating system installed on your computer.

4.From the Start menu, click on Settings, and then click on Printers.

5.Double-click on Add Printer, click on Next, choose Local Printer, and then click on Next. If you are using Windows 2000/XP, skip down to Step 12, and then proceed with Steps 6 through 11.

6.From the Add Printer Wizard window, click on Have Disk.

7.From the Install From Disk window, click on Browse.

8.From the Open window, click on the down-arrow in the Drives box to select the CD-ROM drive on your computer.

9.Double-click on the appropriate folder for the operating system you are using (e.g., Win98, etc.).

10.Double-click on the appropriate subfolder for the model printer you are using (e.g., 3005). If applicable for your model of printer, be sure to select either the USB or standard parallel (LPT1) printer. Click on OK to close the Open window, and then click on OK to close the Install From Disk window.

IMPORTANT: All TROY IRD printers must use the 4300 printer driver, regardless of your printer model. After installation of the printer drivers follow the directions for installing the Metrics File for WindowsTM 98SE and ME and Screen Fonts for WindowsTM 98SE and ME in Step 3, then proceed to Step 4.

11.Select the appropriate printer driver for your printer model, and then click on Next to continue the driver installation. You will be given the choice to either replace or keep the existing driver. It is recommended that you always replace the existing driver. Click on Next to continue. If you are using Windows 2000/XP, skip down to Step 13.

12.Select the appropriate printer port from the displayed list (usually LPT1), and then click on Next to continue. If you are using Windows 2000/XP, go back and perform Steps 6 through 11 to complete the driver installation. Otherwise, for Windows 98SE/ME operating systems, the printer name will be highlighted.

13.For easy printer identification, it is recommended that you change the highlighted Hewlett-Packard printer name to the name of the TROY printer you are installing (e.g., TROY MICR 3005 Secure EX Printer) by typing over the highlighted printer name. If you want to use this printer as your default printer, be sure to select this printer as the default printer. If you are using Windows 2000/XP, choose to either share or not share your printer over the network.

14.Click on Yes to print a test page to verify that your printer driver was installed correctly, and then click on Next to continue.
