FTP Interface

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 software. For more information on PhaserLink software, see PhaserLink Software: the Printer's Information Link.

The following table lists the supported FTP commands.
