Security Printing Solutions

Quick-Start Guide

15.Click on Finish to complete the installation. The printer driver installation will proceed automatically and add the printer icon to the printer folder.

STEP 3: Install the TROY Support Files for Microsoft® Windows

NOTE: The Hewlett-Packard PCL 5e printer driver must be installed on the host computer prior to loading the TROY support files (refer to STEP 2 on the previous page).

The TROY metrics file contains the required escape sequences that are used to “call” the TROY security and/or barcode fonts installed in the TROY Security Printing Solution (via the TROY Memory Card). When properly installed, the TROY metrics file will be associated with the PCL 5e printer driver used by your TROY printer to enable printing of the actual fonts installed in the printer. By associating the metrics file with the printer driver, the TROY TrueType screen fonts will be automatically replaced with the actual TROY fonts at print time. If the TROY metrics file is not properly installed, then the TROY TrueType screen fonts will print instead of the actual TROY installed printer fonts.
