Your printer's FTP interface is a standard FTP server. Using FTP, you can send a job to the printer, where it is printed (not stored). No password is required. You can save a PostScript file from an application and send the file to a remote printer over a network or the Internet using an FTP program.
The printer's FTP directory is PRINTER:1, and any files sent there are automatically passed to the printer.
The printer's FTP parameters can be changed using PhaserLink Printer Management Software. For more information on PhaserLink software, see
PhaserLink Printer Management Software.
