FTP Output Printer Queue
Unlike FTP output tasks, which are typically used to send data files to FTP sites, FTP output
printer queues are mostly used to send print jobs to FTP sites.
FTP output printer queue properties are as follows:
General tab
l FTP Server: Enter the IP address or host name of the FTP server.
l User name: Enter an FTP server user name.
l Password: Enter a password associated with the FTP server user name entered above.
l Use FTPClient default port number:Forces the FTPconnection on port 21, the default
FTPport.
l FTP Port:Enter the FTPport to use. This option is disabled if Use FTPClient default port
number is checked. The port should always correspond with the server's port number.
l Directory: Enter the directory to which the print jobs are to be uploaded. If you leave this
box empty, the job files are sent to the root directory of the FTP server.
l File name: Enter the name under which the print jobs will be saved. Consider using a
dynamic name, since if you use a static name every new file will overwrite the previous
one.
l Connection mode group
l Active: Select to prompt the ftp client to use the active mode when sending files to
the FTP server.
l Passive: Select to prompt the ftp client to use the passive mode when sending files
to the FTP server.
Advanced tab
l Print speed: Enter the speed, in pages per minute (PPM), of the printer associated with
the printer queue. This value is used to determine how to divide jobs when you use the
Queue Balancing option for load balancing.
l Commands: The list of available commands appears in this box. Select either Pre-job
commands or Post-job commands in the Selected box, and double-click a command from
this list to add it to the appropriate list.
l Selected: Select either Pre-job commands or Post-job commands to add new commands
to the appropriate list and to see those commands that have already selected. Double-
click a command to remove it from the selected list.
