Install the TROY Printer Utility for Windows™ 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Server 2003

The TROY Printer Utility provides useful functions for testing and managing your TROY Security Printing Solution through Microsoft® Windows™. This utility takes advantage of the Windows-installed printer collection, allowing access to any printer installed in the Windows environment. The printer connection may be local, network, or direct network connected. The TROY Printer Utility should be installed on the administrator’s computer only. Some of the features of the TROY Printer Utility are provided for special applications and may not be intended for general use. Refer to the TROY Security Printing Solutions User’s Guide, Section 4 – Using the TROY Printer Utility for more information.

Install the TROY Port Monitor for Windows™ 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Server 2003

The TROY Port Monitor allows each user to embed additional user-defined data and/or print commands (data encryption and TROY security commands) into the print data stream generated by their Windows application before it is sent to the printer. Once a port monitor is set up on the host computer, all this functionality takes place in the background without the need for user intervention.

Using the TROY Port Monitor or custom applications designed to print to TROY Security Printers, certain printer feature settings can be temporarily changed during a print job. When the print job has finished, the EX printer will automatically return to the original default feature configuration set by the administrator. Refer to the Security Printing Solutions User’s Guide, Section 5 – Using the TROY Port Monitor for more information.

NOTE: To maintain MICR printing security and to allow users the ability to configure their MICR print jobs, the TROY Port Monitor must be installed on each host computer that will be used to print MICR documents on the TROY Security Printer.
