FTP Printer Management
Using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), you can manage and transfer files on the
network via the Ethernet interface. You will require an FTP program (FTP client) which
supports the “binary” transfer mode to manage the printer. The printer functions as an
FTP server.
FTP printer management is comprised of four functions:
• Management of the memory card installed in the label printer. See “Memory cards”
on page 89.
• Printer firmware update. See “Copying New Firmware via Interface” on page 81.
• IFFS management. See “Directory Structure of the FTP Server” on page 86.
• Direct printing via copying .LBL files. See “Directory Structure of the FTP Server” on
page 86.
FTP logon
To establish an FTP connection, the client must be logged on to the server. The logon
type depends on the client. The following information must be specified in any case,
however:
• IP address of the label printer
• User name and password
Access to the printer management functions depends on the user name:
After logging on, you can access the FTP server in a manner similar to a Windows
folder.
