Using Printing Protocols

FTP

FTP

Embedded within the print server is an FTP server application that processes file transfers from a host computer to the printer.

If the printer is on a network, label formats can be generated and data can be transferred without setting up a print queue.

To send information to the printer, perform these steps:

1.Open a command prompt and type: ftp <IP of PS>

Example • If the IP address of your print server device is 12.3.4.123, you would type:

ftp 12.3.4.123

This opens a session with the FTP server.

2.Type your user name and press Enter.

Note • By default, there is no user name.

3.Type:

put < filename>

where filename is the location and filename of your ZPL script This transfers the file to the printer, and the printer generates a label.

4.To terminate the FTP session, type: quit
