Demo Pages  
The TROY Printer Utility provides the ability to generate a Windows Security Font, Windows Barcode Font, and  
PCL Security/Barcode Font demonstration page. Use the Windows Security Font demonstration page if you are  
using a Windows-based printing application, or use the PCL Security/Barcode Font demonstration page if you  
are using a non-Windows-based printing application. Use these demonstration pages to verify the TROY  
Security fonts generated by your printer.  
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 Section 3 – Using TROY Fonts for the specific escape  
sequence (displayed above each character map) used to call each of the TROY fonts.

Support  
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 or Windows Barcode Font  
Demonstration page(s).  
TO PRINT THE WINDOWS SECURITY (MICR) FONT DEMONSTRATION PAGE:  
1. From the Main Window, click on the printer you wish to manage.  
2. 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 (see example on next page).  
3. 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 generated by your system – see example 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.

Section 3  
Using TROY Fonts  
Introduction  
The TROY MICR E-13B and CMC-7 MICR fonts have been specifically engineered for your TROY Security  
Printing Solution to ensure the highest quality MICR printing in the industry. The TROY font collection  
provides seamless integration and security within your Windows-based check printing application. All TROY  
fonts are permanently programmed into the TROY Font Memory Card to ensure consistent high-quality MICR  
printing and to prevent unauthorized use of these fonts on another printing system. Your TROY Security  
Printing Solution includes the following fonts:  
TROY MICR Font (E-13B and CMC-7)  
TROY Security Font (English and Spanish)  
TROY Convenience Fonts (Enhanced, Large, and Small)  
TROY Reverse Helvetica Font  
TROY OCR Fonts (type A and B)  
British Pound and Euro symbols  
TROY POSTNET and Barcode Fonts  
The following paragraphs provide some basic information for accessing and using the TROY fonts. It is  
important that these fonts are kept secure to prevent unauthorized use and that the fonts remain unaltered to  
ensure accurate rendering by your printer. All TROY fonts are permanently programmed into the TROY Font  
Memory Card and cannot be directly accessed through the printer control panel or other external means.  
Accessing  
and Using  
TROY Fonts  
To access the TROY fonts in a Windows environment, you must first install the Windows printer driver for the  
model of HP printer being installed. Follow the instructions in TROY Font Memory Card Kit Quick-Start Guide  
(provided on the TROY Security Printing Solutions CD) to install the printer driver and Windows support files,  
enabling you to select these fonts from any Windows-based application. To print the TROY E13-B and CMC-7  
MICR fonts, your printer must be set to MICR enabled mode, and a TROY MICR toner cartridge must be  
installed in the printer. Many commercial MICR check-printing applications are pre-programmed to access the  
TROY MICR fonts.  
Accessing TROY  
Fonts Using  
Windows  
Applications  
Accessing TROY  
Fonts Using Non-  
Windows  
If you are using a non-Windows application to print MICR documents, the escape sequence for each font must be  
programmed into your check-printing application in order to “call” each of the selected fonts. The <Esc>  
character is ASCII character number 27 (hexadecimal number 1B). Refer to the end of this section for each  
escape sequence (displayed above each character map) used to call each TROY font.

Section 3  
Using TROY Fonts  
The E-13B MICR font (TROY E-13B, TROY CMC-7) can be used for printing the MICR line in many countries,  
including the United States. In some European and Latin American countries, the CMC-7 MICR font is used  
instead. MICR document processing requires that the MICR characters be precise in size, shape, and spacing.  
For this reason, the TROY MICR font is supplied as a TrueType font; it must not be altered by scaling or other  
size manipulation. TROY can provide customer support for your MICR applications only if you use the supplied  
TROY MICR fonts.  
Using TROY  
MICR Fonts  
Your TROY Security Printing Solution includes a large, small and enhanced convenience amount font (TROY  
ECF, TROY LCF, TROY SCF). These fonts consist of numbers with their alphabetic spellings placed directly  
below the numerical character. These fonts are designed for use in the Legal Amount field only (located directly  
below the Payee field). You can enter alphanumeric symbols representing the amount of the check into this field.  
Using the  
Convenience  
Amount Fonts  
Using the TROY  
Security Fonts  
The TROY Security font (TROY SECURITY, TROY SECURITY SPANISH) is designed to prevent fraudulent alteration  
to the Amount field on the check. The font consists of numbers with their alphabetic spellings placed directly  
below the numerical character with a wavy lined pattern running through each character. These fonts are  
designed for use in the Legal Amount field only (located directly below the Payee field on the check). You can  
enter numeric symbols representing the amount of the check into this field. During document processing,  
convenience amounts may be visually read and encoded on the check by bank personnel. In this case, a large  
Security Amount font may best meet your bank’s requirements.  
The TROY OCR fonts (TROY OCR-A AND TROY OCR-B) are used to print any information (names, addresses,  
amounts) on the check that is to be read by automated readers using optical character recognition.  
Using the TROY  
OCR Fonts  
The TROY Reverse Helvetica font is used to print names and addresses on the back of transparent envelope  
windows for use in pressure-seal machines.  
Using the Reverse  
Helvetica Font  
The POSTNET (Postal Numeric Encoding Technique) font (TROY POSTNET) is used to represent the nine-digit  
postal zip code below the postal address line. Using the POSTNET font on your mailing envelopes and postcards  
will significantly decrease postal processing time and reduce the chance of errors when manual data entry is  
required at the post office.  
Using the TROY  
POSTNET Font  
The British Pound and European currency symbols are used in place of the U.S. dollar sign for the respective  
European country and can be selected to print in the audit reports.

Section 3  
Using TROY Fonts  
In addition to the TROY printer  
fonts that are permanently  
programmed into the TROY Font  
Memory Card, the TROY screen  
fonts have been developed for  
screen display use only as a visual  
Using Printer  
Fonts and  
Screen Fonts  
reference  
and  
for  
making  
positional adjustments to the  
MICR line. The TROY screen  
fonts display differently than the  
actual printer fonts in order to  
prevent unauthorized printing  
using the MICR screen fonts on  
other Windows-installed printers.  
If the E-13B MICR screen font is  
used for printing, the inversely  
printed (white characters on a  
black background) MICR screen  
font will not be readable by the  
bank reader/sorter machines. The  
uniquely displayed screen fonts  
ensure that the MICR font printed  
on your MICR documents is  
generated by the TROY Font  
Memory Card and not by the  
Windows operating system using  
the resident TrueTypefont. The  
TROY screen fonts are provided  
on the TROY Security Printing  
Solutions CD supplied with your  
TROY Font Memory Card  
product.

Section 3  
Using TROY Fonts  
MICR Font  
Guidelines  
The TROY E-13B and CMC-7 MICR fonts were developed using strict specifications designed specifically for  
high-speed magnetic-read processing. To maintain these strict specifications, the TROY MICR fonts were  
designed as non-scalable fonts (fixed fonts) that are fixed in pitch (spacing) and point size (height). Because  
Windows TrueTypetechnology allows fonts to be scalable by changing the point size, it is imperative to  
maintain the 12-point size of the MICR fonts installed in Windows. Selecting a point size other than 12-point for  
the MICR font in Windows will not visibly enlarge or reduce the size of the characters; however, the horizontal  
spacing will be affected. Any alteration to the spacing of the characters will result in incorrect placement of the  
MICR characters in the MICR line at the bottom of your checks, causing your financial documents to be rejected  
by the bank.  
The Convenience Amount fonts were also designed as non-scalable fonts, but can be changed (increased or  
decreased) from the default point size to meet your check printing requirements. Changing the point size of a  
fixed font in Windows will only affect the horizontal spacing of the characters and not affect the vertical size of  
the characters. The TROY Enhanced Convenience Amount font and TROY Security font were designed as  
scalable fonts that can be changed (increased or decreased) from the default point size to meet your check  
printing requirements.  
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you verify the MICR line at the bottom of your printed checks using the TROY  
MICR Document Template (p/n 54-17373-001) to verify the positioning of each character. Refer to the TROY MICR  
Basics Handbook for details (provided on the TROY Security Printing Solutions CD supplied with your TROY Font  
Memory Card product).

Section 3  
Using TROY Fonts  
Each character or symbol in a font set corresponds to a specific ASCII (American Standard Code for Information  
Interchange) number (e.g., the capital letter “A” = ASCII number 65). Pressing a key on your computer  
keyboard automatically generates the ASCII number (32 through 127) associated with the character or symbol  
displayed on the key. Likewise, any character or symbol not represented on your computer keyboard (ASCII  
numbers above 127) can be accessed by manually entering the associated ASCII number using the numeric  
keypad.

The fonts provided on the TROY Security Printing Solutions CD have each of the characters and symbols in  
each font set (shown on the following pages) “mapped” (associated) to standard computer keyboard characters  
using the corresponding ASCII number for each character and symbol on the keyboard.  
For example, the transit symbol (one of the industry-standard symbols used in a MICR line at the bottom of a  
check) contained in the TROY E-13B MICR character table (shown on page 9) does not exist on a standard  
computer keyboard but has been “mapped” to the standard ASCII keyboard capital letter “A”, designated as  
ASCII number 65.  
Therefore, after loading and then selecting the TROY E-13B MICR Font, typing the capital letter “A” on your  
computer keyboard will produce the MICR transit symbol instead of the capital letter “A”. The TROY E-13B  
character table (shown on page 9) associates the transit symbol with ASCII number 65 (the same ASCII number  
used for the capital letter “A” if you had selected a standard ASCII font set instead of the TROY E-13B MICR  
font set).

Determining a  
Character  
Mapping  
To determine which key on your computer keyboard that a TROY character or symbol is “mapped” to, simply  
compare the ASCII number of the selected TROY character or symbol to the same ASCII number listed in the  
Standard ASCII Character Map (shown on the next page) to determine which keyboard key can be used to  
access the selected TROY character or symbol.

CD contain more characters or symbols than can be “mapped” to the  
available keys on a standard computer keyboard. In this case, these  
characters can be accessed by manually entering the ASCII number (see  
example at right) designated for each character (refer to the character  
tables on the following pages). The hexadecimal number shown below  
the ASCII number is used for programming mainframe computers.  
Character or Symbol  
A
To access a character or symbol that is not “mapped” to one of the keys on your Windows computer keyboard,  
you can manually enter the ASCII number by holding down the ALT key on your keyboard, entering the associated  
ASCII number for the character you wish to access, and then releasing the ALT key.  
NOTE: You must use the numerical keypad on your keyboard to enter the ASCII number. The number keys along  
the top of the keyboard will not work for this application.
