File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Embedded within the PSII is an FTP server application that processes file transfers
from a host computer to the printer.
If the printer is on a network, label formats can be generated and data can be
transferred without setting up a print queue.
To send information to the printer in a Windows environment,
try this alternative exercise:
1. In a text editor, generate the following ZPL II code:
^XA
^FO100,100
^CF0,55^FDZebra Technologies^FS
^XZ
2. Save the file and name it test.txt.
3. Open the MS-DOS Command Prompt and type:
ftp
This opens a session with the FTP server.
4. Type your user name and press Enter.
5. Type:
put test.txt
This transfers test.txt to the printer, and the printer generates a label.
6. To terminate the FTP session, type:
quit
Example • The IP address of your PSII device is 12.3.4.123, you would type:
ftp 12.3.4.123
