Intermate 100 manual Configuration, Using FTP Print

Services in “Input Control”: FTP Print

22.4. FTP Print

FTP print is primarily meant for use in UNIX environments. It requires giving a command manually from the command line.

You can use this method to print any file which is “application- independent-printable” and compatible with the printer. Typical examples are PCL formatted files, .prn files and .txt files.

22.4.1.Configuration

1Choose where you want the output of FTP jobs directed. See “Common Feature: How to Direct Output” [page 159].

Note: Before release level 1071, it was only possible to direct output to PR0 / Logical Printer 0.

2Remember to “Save & Cont.” and then “Reboot” to activate.

22.4.2.Using FTP Print

These are the steps required for each job (the precise syntax in the example is from AIX):

1Connect to the print server via ftp For example:

ftp 192.168.0.227

2Log on using the special user name parallel (case sensitive). No password is needed.

This will start the ftp session in the directory in which FTP print can be executed.

3Set the transfer mode to binary.

binary

4Copy (download) your print file to the print server. This example assumes that the file named booklist.prn is located in C:\ root on your PC. Remember to include the file name extension.

put c:\booklist.prn

5End the FTP session.
