140 PX4i and PX6i High Performance Printer User Guide
Devices and Directories
The file system of the printer is case-sensitive, which is important because file-
names in Fingerprint commands are translated into capital letters by default.
Directories or files with lowercase names are inaccessible for Fingerprint com-
mands and programs.
The commands you use depend on how you navigate the printer file system:
• 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. Because Fingerprint commands are translated
into uppercase letters, you are restricted from accessing devices and directories
with lowercase names. For more information on using Fingerprint, see the
Fingerprint Command Reference Manual.
/(root)
The root node is write protected to preserve the device and file structure of the
printer.
/c (or c:)
/c is the user file system. You can create directories here to store files such as pro-
grams, fonts, and images.
/c/ADMIN (or c:ADMIN)
This directory is only accessible for the admin user. It contains start order, Finger-
print restrictions, and other configuration parameters only configurable for an
administrator.
/c/boot (or c:boot)
This directory contains the firmware, password file, and other system information.
/card1 (or card1:)
This directory is the CompactFlash (CF) card file system used to store files such as
large fonts and images. You can also use the CF card to upgrade printer firmware.
/dev
This directory contains devices used for input/output, such as uart1, Flash, net1,
parallel IEEE 1284.
