STEP 5: Test the TROY Font Support for Microsoft® Windows™

To verify that the TROY Windows font support files were properly installed on your system, demonstration documents are provided through the TROY Printer Utility in Windows that can be printed out to visually identify all security and/or barcode fonts downloaded to the TROY printer. Make sure your TROY printer is properly setup, powered ON, and is online before printing the Windows Security Font and/or Windows Barcode Font Demonstration page(s).

TO PRINT THE TROY SECURITY FONT / BARCODE FONT DEMONSTRATION PAGE(S):

NOTE: TROY Secure EX series printers must have the printer keylock switch set to “Print MICR” to enable printing of the Windows Security Font Demonstration page.

1.From the TROY Printer Utility Main Window, click on the printer you wish to manage.

2.If you have already set an administrator password, type the password into the password box at the bottom of the Main Window. If a password is not set, then leave the password box blank.

3.From the Main Window, click on File, Print, and then click on

Windows Security (MICR) Font

Demo. The printer will automatically print the Windows Security Font Demonstration page.

4.Compare the actual TROY security fonts (the actual fonts generated by your printing system) shown in the right-hand column with the facsimile image of these fonts printed in the center column (a digitized image designed to look exactly like the actual fonts correctly generated by your system – refer to the example shown on the next page).

If the support files were properly installed, the actual TROY security and/or barcode fonts displayed in the right-hand column should appear identical to the facsimile fonts displayed in the center column. If the actual fonts do not match the facsimile fonts printed on the demonstration document (fonts not printed correctly or fonts missing on the printout), review the installation steps in this document. If further assistance is required, contact TROY Technical Support.

Accessing TROY Fonts Using Non-Windows Applications

If you are using a non-Windows application to print MICR documents, the escape sequence for each font must be programmed into the application in order to “call” each of the selected fonts. The <Esc> character is ASCII character number 27 (hexadecimal number 1B). Refer to the TROY Security Printing Solutions User’s Guide for the specific escape sequence (displayed above each character map) used to call each of the TROY fonts.
