•Create a user account and password for the printer on the Web server. Note the user name and password.

•Create a home directory for the printer.

•Create a bin directory in the home directory

•Copy an executable CGI script in the bin directory. You can create your own script, or download a sample script. For details, see CGI Scripts on page 110. Note the path to the script. The script can be defined with script_name.extension or by path/script_name.extension.

•Create a folder with read and write permissions on the Web server, or alternate server. Note the directory path, user name, and password. This is your file repository.

•Test the connection by logging in to the printer’s home directory on the Web server. Send a POST request and file to the Web server. Check to see if the file is in the repository.
