Contents IPP . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 84 FTP . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Using Printing Protocols IPP IPP Important • You must have IPP support on your system. Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application-level protocol used for distributed printing over the Internet. Using IPP from any standard IPP client, you can transfer jobs to a printer that is connected to either your external ZebraNet 10/100 Print Server or your internal ZebraNet 10/100 Print Server for S4M, 105SL, PAX4, and XiIIIPlus.
Using Printing Protocols FTP FTP Embedded within the print server is an FTP server application that processes file transfers from a host computer to the printer. If the printer is on a network, label formats can be generated and data can be transferred without setting up a print queue. To send information to the printer, perform these steps: 1. Open a command prompt and type: ftp Example • If the IP address of your print server device is 12.3.4.123, you would type: ftp 12.3.4.

Glossary 10BASE-T A type of Ethernet that uses unshielded twisted pair cable. 100BASE-T A type of Ethernet that can transmit 100Mb of data per second with a twisted-pair cable. ARP The standard TCP/IP method for determining the actual network address of a device based on its IP address. ASCII A standard for the binary representation of characters.
Glossary delete bytes This number is used to remove characters from the beginning of every job sent to the logical printer. The value for delete bytes can range from 0 to 255. dynamic A dynamic configuration, as the name implies, means that it changes. BOOTP and DHCP offer time-based leases for the configurations they assign. Their changes depend on the time-based lease, and how often the printer itself is offline and online again. A dynamic configuration can include BOOTP or DHCP.
Glossary gateway A device that converts one higher-level network protocol to a different higher level protocol. gleaning A temporary, local configuration option. Gleaning lets you add the address of the device you want to configure to your local workstation’s ARP table. This configuration is not permanent and is valid only from the workstation from which you entered the ARP information.
Glossary parallel port A port on a device that sends information in groups of bits over multiple wires, one wire for each bit in a group. ping A TCP/IP command that determines whether a device is accessible on the network. POP3 Post Office Protocol, the protocol used to retrieve email from the server. port A physical connector, such as the parallel port, or a logical connection to a device. post-string A string that is sent at the end of every job going to the logical printer.
Glossary spooling In printing applications, spooling is the transfer of data to a temporary storage area on disk (the print queue) prior to printing. Spooling allows many jobs to be queued to a single printer. static Refers to a static IP address. All information is provided by the network administrator. subnet mask A TCP/IP method of dividing a network into several smaller subnetworks.
