DIRECTLY PRINTING A FILE ON AN FTP SERVER When an FTP server is configured, you can directly select and print files on the FTP server from the touch panel of the machine. This function eliminates the need for downloading the files from the FTP server to your PC and sending print jobs from the PC to the machine. To configure an FTP server: In "Settings (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Printer Settings] → [Direct Print Settings (FTP)]. (Administrator rights are required.) Up to 20 FTP servers can be configured. When you select a PDF file that has a password, you must enter the password in the job management screen to begin printing. ► PRINTING AN ENCRYPTED PDF FILE (page 3-90) 1 Tap the [File Retrieve] key. 3-81
