User's Manual Part 3

Appendix D — Advanced Configuration
PD41 and PD42 Commercial Printer User’s Guide 117
• If you are accessing the printer through an FTP client or a web
browser, you can easily navigate through the different devices and
directories. Lowercase letters are not an issue for FTP or a web
browser.
• If you are accessing the printer through raw TCP (“net1:”), you use
Fingerprint to communicate with the printer. Since Fingerprint
commands are translated into uppercase letters, you are restricted
from accessing devices and directories with lowercase names. For
more information on using Fingerprint, refer to the Fingerprint
Command Reference Manual.
/(root)
The root node is write protected to preserve the device and file
structure of the printer.

such as programs, fonts, and images.
