Using the independent increment property of compound Poisson process, we studied the probability density function of the first passage time of a class of compound Poisson processes with positive jumps. The jump size of those compound Poisson processes satisfies finite discrete distribution. From the probability density function of the first passage time, we derived the probability of which first passage time is finite. Then, as the applications of the main results of this article, several special cases were discussed, and some results about the probability distribution of the first passage time of weighted Poisson processes were generalized.
