7-2 Printing via FTP and LPR
While the user interface may vary between implementations of FTP,
the information required to connect to the imager and send files is
the same.
To print a sheet, you simply start an FTP session with the imager,
login to the FTP session using a logical device as the password to
indicate what format to use, then send one or more images to be
printed on the sheet.
1. From your workstation, open a command window.
2. To start the FTP session, at the command prompt enter the
following command:
ftp x.x.x.x
where
x.x.x.x
is the IP address of the Horizon imager to which
you want to send the print job.
NOTE:
If you have configured a host alias for the Horizon imager on your workstation or you
are using Domain Name Service (DNS), you can enter the imager’s host name instead of
the IP address.
FTP connects with the imager and you are prompted to log in.
3. Enter a name to identify yourself to the Horizon imager.
NOTE:
The Horizon imager does not maintain FTP user accounts, so you can really enter
any name you want. However, the imager does track print jobs by the source user login/host.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use a name that is unique among other users of the
imager. This will also allow you to identify your jobs in the imager’s log information.
You are prompted for a password.
4. At the password prompt, you need to enter the Horizon logical
device number that represents the sheet format you want to use:
