Settings can be configured in the Web pages of the machine to enable direct printing from a computer without using the 
printer driver.

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.

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 [FTP Print Settings] in the Web page menu, enable FTP 
Print in "FTP Print Settings from Client PC", 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 computer's 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 or PS) 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, see "User Control" in the System Settings Guide.

An e-mail account can be configured in the machine to have the machine periodically check your mail server and 
automatically print received e-mail attachments without using the printer driver.

• Configuring settings

To use E-mail Print, you must first configure an e-mail account in the machine. To configure an account, click 
[Application Settings] and then [E-mail Print Settings] in the Web page menu. (Administrator rights are required.)

• Using E-mail Print

To print a file using E-mail Print, use your e-mail program on your computer to send the file as an attachment to the 
machine's e-mail address.

Control commands can be entered in the message of the e-mail to specify the number of copies and print format. 
Commands are entered in the format "command name = value".
The following control commands can be entered:

* Can be omitted except when authentication is by user number.
