(cont.)
Install the TROY Port Monitor for Windows ™ 98, ME, 2000/NT4.0, XP
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
series printer will automatically return to the original default feature configuration set by the administrator. Refer
to Section 6 – 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.
