Printer Connection Method (FTP)
This machine contains an internal FTP server, and a function that enables the
machine to print jobs which are uploaded to this server from PCs on the network.
This function is for use in special environments, such as in a large-scale system
that includes a printing function for processing a large amount of business data.
This function, however, is not a general printing method. The only types of data you
can print using this method are plain text data, and binary data after it has passed
through the printer driver. Since jobs uploaded to the FTP server are printed
without passing through a printer driver, if you upload application data, it does not
pass through a printer driver, and therefore will never be printed correctly.
The following is the procedure for printing via FTP.
1
Go to the MS-DOS prompt or the Command prompt
➞
log in to
the machine's FTP server.
For details on user names and passwords, see step 16 in "TCP/IP Settings," on
p. 3-4.
IMPORTANT
Up to three clients can be logged in simultaneously to its FTP server.
2
Execute the following command to change the file type to
IMAGE (BINARY).
ftp> bin
IMPORTANT
Change the file type to IMAGE (BINARY) even if you are printing text files.
