FTP Printer Management

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows to manage and transfer files on the network via the Ethernet or WLAN
interface . An FTP program (FTP client) is required 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:
• direct printing via copying JScript files
• management of the storage devices installed in the label printer
• IFFS management
• printer firmware update  "8.4" on page 41
