FTP printer management

7 FTP printer management
Using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), you can manage and transfer files on the network via the Ether-
net 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 printer (see "8" on Page 56)
•
printer firmware update (see "6.1.1" on Page 49)
•
IFFS management (see "7.2" on Page 55)
•
direct printing via copying .LBL files (see "7.2" on Page 55)

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 printer
•
User name and password
Access to the printer management functions depends on the user name:
User name
anonymous
root
Tab. 23: Data for establishing an FTP connection
After logging on, you can access the FTP server in a manner similar to a Windows folder.
It is absolutely necessary to define a PIN for FTP access with the username "root". The initial setting of
the PIN can be made via the operating panel of the printer or via the printer website.
