Assigning User
Names and
Passwords
Up to twenty user names and passwords (one administrator and 19 users) can be set up to prevent unauthorized
users from accessing the printer’s secure resources (digital images of signatures, logos, macros, MICR fonts, etc.)
and other MICR features. Although the use of user names and passwords is not required to operate TROY
Security Printing Solution, TROY highly recommends using user names and passwords to increase peer-to-peer
security, and to maintain a higher level of accountability of the users in your MICR printing network.
The system default password is blank (no password), and not entering a password when assigning a new user will
allow that user to access the printer’s secure resources without using a password. Attempts to add duplicate users
will be ignored. If you choose not to set up user names and passwords, TROY encourages administrators to at
least set up an administrator password to prevent unauthorized access to TROY Security Printing Solutions
settings from either the TROY Printer Utility or the printer control panel.
After providing a valid user name and password in the TROY Port Monitor, users are allowed to modify the
printer configuration settings and access the printer’s secures resources for the duration of the print job,
regardless of the number of pages being printed. When the print job is finished, the user-defined printer
configuration settings will automatically return to the default printer settings, and access to the printer’s features
and settings will be discontinued for that user. Only one instance of the same user name can have access to the
printer features and settings through the TROY Port Monitor. Refer to Section 5 –
Using the TROY Port Monitor
for more information.
