Use FTP to send a print job

The printer supports printing through FTP.

When you send your print job through FTP and there is no Job Ticket available, the default WebTools Express settings are leading.

NOTE

You must enable printing through FTP in WebTools Express ([Preferences] - [Connectivity] - [FTP] ).

Before you begin

Find the network settings and IP address of your printer on the user panel.

Tap on [System] - [Setup] - [System settings]. A window opens with the required information.

Send a print job via FTP

You can print the files through FTP in the following ways.

  • Via a command line prompt

  • Via an FTP application

  • From a web browser:

    Enter the address ftp://<hostname or IP address> /jobs in your workstation browser.

The printer has a dedicated FTP Jobs folder. You cannot delete or change this folder. It is created at installation and protected. The most convenient way to print files through FTP is to drag and drop the files, or to copy and paste the files into this [Jobs] folder on the FTP site of the printer controller. The documents in the folder are printed on your printer.
