Driver Type
5. If you are using a “legacy” printer driver
(typically used for Windows 95, 98SE, and
ME operating systems), place a checkmark
in the checkbox next to “Check this box if
you are using a legacy printer driver.”
NOTE: See below for details on identifying
the type of printer driver currently installed
on your computer.
6. After all the desired check fields have been
defined, click on Create Metrics. Type in
the desired file name or use TROY (default)
for the data capture metrics file in the File
Name box, and then click on Save. You
may create as many data capture font set
configurations (metrics files) as needed for
your check printing requirements. The system will automatically generate the metrics file required to capture
the selected check data for the TROYmark
™
background image, TROY audit report, or secure seal.

7. After the data capture metrics file is created by the TROY Printer Utility, refer to the TROY Quick-Start
Guide, and follow the appropriate steps for installing the metrics file on the host computer.
NOTE: If more than one data capture metrics file is installed using the same file name, the previously installed
metrics file will automatically be overwritten. TROY recommends using only one data capture metrics file for each
computer in your MICR printing network.
In order for the TROY Printer Utility to create the appropriate data capture metrics file that is compatible with
your installed printer driver and operating system, you must identify the type of printer driver currently installed
on your computer. “Legacy driver” refers to the older style of printer drivers typically used for Windows 95,
98SE, ME, and NT4.0 operating systems. The newer printer drivers, commonly referred to as “unidrivers”, are
typically used for Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 operating systems.
To identify the type of printer driver currently installed on your computer, click on Start, Settings, Printers, and
then right-click on your TROY MICR printer. Click on Properties, and note if a Configuration tab exists among
the displayed group of tabs at the top of the properties window. Legacy printer drivers will have a Configure tab
displayed in the properties window, and the newer printer drivers (unidrivers) will not have a Configure tab
displayed in the properties window.
