DIRECTLY PRINTING FROM A COMPUTER
Settings can be configured in the Web pages of the machine to enable direct printing from a computer without using the 
printer driver. For the procedure for accessing the Web pages, see the Quick Start Guide.
SUBMIT PRINT JOB
You can specify a file to be printed directly without using the printer driver.
In addition to a file on your computer, this procedure can be used to print any file that can be accessed from your 
computer, such as a file on another computer connected to the same network.
To directly print a file on a computer, click [Document Operations] and then [Submit Print Job] in the Web page menu.
FTP PRINT
You can print a file from your computer by simply dragging and dropping the file onto the FTP server of the machine.
Configuring settings
To enable FTP Print, click [Application Settings] and then [Setting for Print from the PC] in the Web page menu, and 
configure the port number. (Administrator rights are required.)
Performing FTP Print
Type ftp:// and then the IP address of the machine in the address bar of your computers Web browser as shown 
below.
(Example)
ftp://192.168.1.28
Drag and drop the file that you wish to print onto the lp folder that appears in your Web browser. The file will 
automatically begin printing.
 If you printed a file (PCL, PS, or XPS) that includes print settings, the settings will be applied.
 When user authentication is enabled in the system settings (administrator) of the machine, the print function may be 
restricted. For more information, ask your administrator.
