FTP Interface
Your printer’s FTP interface is a standard FTP server.  Using FTP, you can send a job 
to the printer, where it is printed (not stored).  No password is required.  You can 
save a PostScript file from an application and send the file to a remote printer over a 
network or the Internet using an FTP program.
The printer’s FTP directory is PRINTER:1, and any files sent there are automatically 
passed to the printer. 
The printer’s FTP parameters can be changed using PhaserLink Printer Management 
Software.  For more information on PhaserLink software, see Chapter 12, 
“PhaserLink Printer Management Software”.
The following table lists the supported FTP commands.
