STEP 1: Install the TROY MICR Toner Cartridge and TROY Font DIMM
1. Be sure to install a TROY MICR toner cartridge (purchased separately from TROY) in the same manner
as described for the standard Hewlett-Packard toner cartridge (refer to your Hewlett-Packard Getting
Started Guide for details). A MICR toner cartridge must be installed in your printer in order to print
MICR documents. For best results, TROY MICR toner cartridges are recommended. TROY’s high-
quality MICR toner is specifically designed for the MICR fonts contained on your TROY Font DIMM.
NOTE: If you purchased a TROY Font DIMM printer, skip the following step. The Font DIMM is
already installed in the printer.
2. Install the TROY Font DIMM (supplied with your TROY
Font DIMM Solution) by using the TROY Font DIMM
installation instructions provided in the Appendix of the
TROY Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM Kit User’s
Guide in PDF format on the TROY Font DIMM Printer
and Font DIMM Kit CD. The TROY Font DIMM must
be installed before proceeding to Step #2 below.
STEP 2:Install the HP UPD Printer Driver for Microsoft®Windows™
NOTE: Use the supplied TROY CD to install the UPD printer driver for your TROY P2055
Font DIMM printer or HP P2055 LaserJet printer if using the TROY Font DIMM Kit.
Some software screens may differ slightly in appearance between operating systems.
1. Close all applications before installing the HP UPD printer driver.
2. Insert the TROY installation CD into your computer CD-ROM drive. Double-click the Printer Drivers
folder; double-click the .2055 Universal PL5 Driver folder; then double-click Install.exe. Follow the
on-screen prompts to perform the installation.

STEP 3:Install the TROYSupport Files for Microsoft®Windows™
NOTE: The Hewlett-Packard PCL 5e printer driver must be installed on the host computer prior to loading the
TROY support files (refer to STEP 2 on the previous page).
The TROY metrics file contains the required escape sequences that are used to “call” the TROY security and/or
optional barcode fonts installed in your TROY Security Printing Solution (via the TROY Font DIMM). When
properly installed, the TROY metrics file will be associated with the PCL 5e printer driver used by your
Hewlett-Packard printer to enable printing of the actual fonts installed in the printer. By associating the metrics
file with the printer driver, the TROY TrueType screen fonts will be automatically replaced with the actual
TROY fonts at print time. If the TROY metrics file is not properly installed, then the TROY TrueType screen
fonts will print instead of the actual TROY installed printer fonts.
Install the TROY Metrics File
1. Close all applications before installing the TROY Font support files.
2. Insert the TROY Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM Kit CD into your computer CD-ROM drive.
3. From the Microsoft Windows Start menu, click on Settings, and then click on Printers.
4. Right-click on your TROY/HP P2055 printer icon, and then click on Properties from the pull-down
menu. If multiple printers are installed, make sure the correct printer icon is selected that corresponds to
your HP printer.
5. Click on the Device Settings tab located at the top of the Properties window.
6. Click on External Font (under the Font Substitution Table category), and then click on the Properties
button.
7. Click on the Browse button to open the drive selection window. Double-click on the appropriate drive
letter to select the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
8. Double-click on the Support Files folder from the list of folders, double-click on the PCM Files folder,
double-click on the Domestic folder, and then click on OK to close the drive selection window. For
international products, double-click on the International folder.
9. Use the SHIFT key to select all the fonts located in the left-hand window named TROY Auto-Protect,
TROY PCM7, etc., and then click on Add to add those fonts. If you want to add an individual font, just
highlight that specific font name and click on the Add button. All the added fonts should be displayed
in the right-hand window.
NOTE: If the barcode option was purchased, repeat Steps 8 through 10. Choose the TROY Barcode PCM
file from the Barcode folder.
10. Close all remaining open windows. Please refer to the TROY Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM
Kit User’s Guide, Section 3 – Using TROY Fonts before using the installed fonts.

Install the TROY Screen Fonts for Windows™98SE, ME Operating Systems
In addition to the TROY printer fonts that are permanently programmed into your TROY Font DIMM, the
TROY screen fonts have been developed for display use only as a visual reference and for making
positional adjustments to the MICR line. The TROY screen fonts display differently than the actual printer
fonts to prevent unauthorized printing using the MICR screen fonts on other Windows-installed printers.
If the E-13B MICR screen font is used for printing, the inversely printed (white characters on black
background) MICR screen font will not be readable by the bank reader/sorter machines. The uniquely
displayed screen fonts ensure that the MICR font printed on your MICR documents is generated by a TROY
Security Printing Solution and not from a Windows TrueType™screen font. The TROY screen fonts are
provided on the TROY Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM Kit CD supplied with your TROY Font
DIMM Kit.
NOTE: Windows 2000/XP operating systems do not require installation of the TROY screen fonts.
1. Close all applications before installing the TROY support files.
2. Insert the TROY Font DIMM Printer and Font DIMM Kit CD into your computer CD-ROM drive.
3. From the Start menu, click on Settings, and then click on Control Panel.
4. Double-click on the Fonts folder icon.
5. Click on File, and then click on Install New Font… A new window labeled Add Fonts will open and
then a Windows Explorer-style window will open.
6. Click on the down-arrow in the Drives box to select the CD-ROM drive on your computer. Double-
click on the Support Files folder from the list of folders, double-click on the HPD Files folder, and then
double-click on the Domestic folder. For international products, double-click on the International
folder.
7. A list of TROY fonts will be listed within the List of Fonts section. Click on Select All to highlight all
available fonts, and then click on OK. A processing window may appear while the installation process
proceeds. Individual fonts may be selected if all the fonts are not needed.
8. Repeat Steps 5 through 7 to install the barcode screen fonts. Double-click on the Support Files folder,
double-click on the HPD Files folder, and then double-click on the Barcode folder. Within the List of
Fonts section, click on Select All to highlight all available barcode screen fonts, and then click on OK.
