Printer Connection Method (FTP)

3
This machine contains an internal FTP server, and a function that enables the
machine to print jobs which are uploaded to this server from PCs on the network.
This function is for use in special environments, such as in a large-scale system
that includes a printing function for processing a large amount of business data.
This function, however, is not a general printing method. The only types of data you
can print using this method are plain text data, and binary data after it has passed
through the printer driver. Since jobs uploaded to the FTP server are printed
without passing through a printer driver, if you upload application data, it does not
pass through a printer driver, and therefore will never be printed correctly.
The following is the procedure for printing via FTP.
