PRINTER►PRINTING WITHOUT THE PRINTER DRIVER
EXTENSION OF PRINTABLE FILES
When you do not have the printer driver installed on your PC, or when the application used to open a file that you wish to
print is not available, you can print directly to the machine without using the printer driver.
The file types (and corresponding extensions) that can be printed directly are shown below.
*1 The PS3 expansion kit is required.
*2 The Direct print expansion kit is required.
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.

• Even if the print result is black and white, the following types of print jobs will be counted as 4-color (Y (Yellow), M
(Magenta), C (Cyan), and Bk (Black)) print jobs. When you want such jobs to be counted as black and white jobs, select
the black and white printing option.
• When the data is created as color data.
• When the application treats the data as color data even though the data is black and white.
• When an image is hidden under a black and white image.
• Some files may not print correctly even if shown in the above table.
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.
