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 you need to install the Barcode fonts, repeat 8 through 10 but browse to the Barcode folder instead of Domestic.
11.Close all remaining open windows. Please refer to the TROY Security Printing Solutions User’s Guide, Section 7 – Using TROY Fonts
NOTE: Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7 and Server 2008 do not require installation of the TROY screen fonts.
12. User will choose TROY MICR printer when printing a check.
If possible ask the user to print a check to test. Check routing numbers should appear at bottom as well as the correct signature. May need to turn off printer > insert signature card (if it isnt already) and turn printer back on.
