User Names and
Passwords

The user names and passwords feature allows the administrator to set up to 20 user names and passwords (one
administrator and 19 users) to prevent unauthorized access of the TROY Security Printing Solution’s secure
resources and other security features. All names and passwords are stored in the secure memory area of the
TROY flash-file system and can be assigned and/or modified by the administrator using the TROY Printer
Utility. The administrator can print a list of active user names and passwords using the TROY Printer Utility or
printer control panel.

If the administrator configures a TROY printer with one or more user names and passwords, the following list of
features will only be accessible to print jobs or user requests at the control panel when a valid user name and
password is used to login to the printer.

Secure features available in selected TROY Security Printing Solutions when a user is logged in:

• Access to the TROY Security fonts.

• Access to resources stored in the secure memory area of the printer’s flash-file system
• Changes to the MICR mode

• Disabling the paper tray mapping set by an administrator

• Print audit reports and delete audit records
• Print sample reports containing MICR characters (Windows Demo and PCL Demo pages).


User names will be automatically recorded in the audit data for each print job initiated by a user. The system
default user password is blank (no password) and not entering a user password when assigning a new user will
allow that user to access the TROY printer’s secure resources without using a password. Attempts to add
duplicate users will be ignored. If you choose not to set up any user names and passwords, TROY strongly
recommends that administrators set up an administrator password to prevent unauthorized access to the TROY
printer features and settings from the TROY Printer Utility, the TROY Port Monitor, or the printer control panel.
