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 printer memory 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)
• TROY Messaging Fonts
• TROY AutoProtect
™ Font
• TROY Data Capture Fonts
• TROY Microprint Font
• 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 the TROY printer. All TROY fonts reside in the secure memory area of the TROY
Security Printing Solution and cannot be directly accessed through the printer control panel or other external
means. Users having the appropriate security rights can access the TROY MICR fonts from any Windows-based
application.
To access the TROY fonts in a Windows environment, you must first install the Windows printer driver for the
specific model of TROY Security Printing Solution being installed. Follow the instructions in Section 5 –
Installing the TROY Support Files 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
TROY printer must be set to MICR enabled mode, and a TROY MICR toner cartridge must be installed in the
printer (TROY Secure EX series printers must have the keylock switch set to “Print MICR”). Many commercial
MICR check-printing applications are pre-programmed to access the TROY MICR fonts. Refer to the TROY
Programmer’s Reference Guide for more details.
