How to
Implement
the TROY
MICR Printing
System
Use the following ten steps to assist you with planning your TROY MICR solution system implementation.
After you have established an implementation plan, refer to
TROY Quick-Start Guide
for information on
installing the required TROY MICR printer drivers, fonts, and software utilities. The MICR printer drivers
designed for your printer model are provided on the TROY MICR Printing Solutions CD supplied in your printer
startup package. Use the worksheet provided at the end of this section to record and summarize your
implementation plan. Some of these steps may not apply to your TROY MICR printing solution.
Step 1: Select one person in your organization to be the administrator of the TROY MICR printer(s). The
administrator should have the responsibility and authority to manage passwords, handle secure check paper after
printing, and possess some general laser printer experience. The administrator should also be experienced with
the Microsoft Windows operating system and be comfortable installing printer drivers and other types of
Microsoft Windows software.
Step 2: Identify the signatories for your company checks. Many companies choose to have digital signatures
created for each signatory to enhance check-producing efficiency. If you decide to use digitized signatures, it is
beneficial to have these proprietary electronic files created before printer installation begins. In addition to
digitized signatures, your company logo can also be digitized, adding efficiency and convenience to your MICR
printing process. Please contact your TROY printer representative for digitizing information and pricing.
Step 3: Determine how many different check styles will be used (refer to the
TROY MICR Basics Handbook
for
information on check design). Your TROY MICR printer does not require pre-printed check paper, saving
money by eliminating the costs of ordering and maintaining pre-printed check paper. TROY MICR series
printers can store digitized signatures, logos, form overlays, fonts and printer macros that can be used to print
different types of checks from blank generic security check paper.
Storing your proprietary check design and signature resources in the printer will also eliminate the need to change
the check paper in the printer for different check jobs, help prevent fraudulent use of pre-printed check paper, and
increase your overall check-printing efficiency. Please contact your TROY printer representative for more
information and pricing on blank security check paper and digitizing services.
