Use the “put” or “mput” command according to the number of files to be printed.
❖ When the number of files to be printed is one
ftp> put \pass name\file name [option]
❖ When the number of files to be printed is two or more
ftp> put \pass name\file name [\pass name\file name...]
[option]
Note
❒ For the mput command, “*” and “?” can be used as wild cards in the file
name.
❒ If these symbols are used, the file name will be read as an option string.
The procedure from starting ftp to printing is as follows.
A Formulate the printer's IP address (or host name of the hosts file printer) as
an argument and use the “ftp” command.
% ftp printer's IP address
B Enter user names and passwords as needed, and then press the {Enter} key.
There is no default user name when the default password is “password”.
User:
password:
C When printing a binary file, set binary as the file mode.
ftp> bin
Note
❒ When a binary file is printed in ASCII mode, print data may change and
may not print out correctly.
D Specify the file to be printed.

C:\PRINT directory, and printing file1 and file2.
