FTP Print

FTP print is primarily meant for use in UNIX environments. It
requires giving a command manually from the command line.

You can use this method to print any file which is “application-
independent-printable” and compatible with the printer. Typical
examples are PCL formatted files, .prn files and .txt files.

22.4.1. Configuration

1

Choose where you want the output of FTP jobs directed.
See

“Common Feature: How to Direct Output” [page 159]

.

Note:

Before release level 1071, it was only possible to
direct output to PR0 / Logical Printer 0.

2

Remember to “Save & Cont.” and then “Reboot” to activate.

22.4.2. Using FTP Print

These are the steps required for each job (the precise syntax in
the example is from AIX):

1

Connect to the print server via ftp
For example:

ftp 192.168.0.227

2

Log on using the special user name parallel (case
sensitive). No password is needed.
This will start the ftp session in the directory in which FTP
print can be executed.

3

Set the transfer mode to binary.

binary

4

Copy (download) your print file to the print server. This
example assumes that the file named booklist.prn is
located in C:\ root on your PC. Remember to include the file
name extension.

put c:\booklist.prn

5

End the FTP session.
