The following explains printing operations using the "lpr", "ftp", and "sftp" commands.
Enter commands using the command prompt window. The location of the command prompts varies depending on operating systems:
Windows XP/Vista/7, Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008/2008 R2
[Start] - [All Programs] - [Accessories] - [Command Prompt]
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012
Right-click anywhere on the Start screen - [All apps] - [Command Prompt]
Match the data format of the file to be printed with the emulation mode of the printer.
If the message "print requests full" appears, no print jobs can be accepted. Try again when sessions end. For each command, the amount of possible sessions is indicated as follows:
lpr: 5 (When the spool printing function is available: 10)
ftp: 3
sftp: 3
Enter the file name in a format including the path from the directory executing commands.
The "option" specified in a command is an intrinsic printer option and its syntax is similar to printing from UNIX. For details, see UNIX Supplement.
