The TROY MICR E-13B and CMC-7 MICR fonts have been specifically engineered for your TROY Security
Printing Solution to ensure the highest quality MICR printing in the industry. The TROY font collection
provides seamless integration and security within your Windows-based check printing application. All TROY
fonts are permanently programmed into the TROY Font Memory Card to ensure consistent high-quality MICR
printing and to prevent unauthorized use of these fonts on another printing system. Your TROY Security
Printing Solution includes the following fonts:
• TROY MICR Font (E-13B and CMC-7)
• TROY Security Font (English and Spanish)
• TROY Convenience Fonts (Enhanced, Large, and Small)
• TROY Reverse Helvetica Font
• TROY OCR Fonts (type A and B)
• British Pound and Euro symbols
• TROY POSTNET and Barcode Fonts
The following paragraphs provide some basic information for accessing and using the TROY fonts. It is
important that these fonts are kept secure to prevent unauthorized use and that the fonts remain unaltered to
ensure accurate rendering by your printer. All TROY fonts are permanently programmed into the TROY Font
Memory Card and cannot be directly accessed through the printer control panel or other external means.
To access the TROY fonts in a Windows environment, you must first install the Windows printer driver for the
model of HP printer being installed. Follow the instructions in TROY Font Memory Card Kit Quick-Start Guide
(provided on the TROY Security Printing Solutions CD) to install the printer driver and Windows support files,
enabling you to select these fonts from any Windows-based application. To print the TROY E13-B and CMC-7
MICR fonts, your printer must be set to MICR enabled mode, and a TROY MICR toner cartridge must be
installed in the printer. Many commercial MICR check-printing applications are pre-programmed to access the
TROY MICR fonts.
If you are using a non-Windows application to print MICR documents, the escape sequence for each font must be
programmed into your check-printing application in order to “call” each of the selected fonts. The <Esc>
character is ASCII character number 27 (hexadecimal number 1B). Refer to the end of this section for each
escape sequence (displayed above each character map) used to call each TROY font.
