Deploying NPA files

DDU can send NPA command to printers by deploying .npa files.

  1. Obtain an NPA file.

  2. At the command prompt, type one or more of the following:

    • DDUAppFolder\bin\ddu ‑deploy ‑ip IP ‑npa NPAFilePath -npaport NPAPort

      Note: To deploy NPA file to multiple printers, replace ‑ip IP with ‑csv DeviceListPath.

      where:

      • DDUAppFolder is the location of the DDU folder.
      • IP is the IP address of the printer.
      • NPAFilePath is the location of the NPA file.
      • DeviceListPath is the location of the .csv file that contains the list of IP addresses.
      • NPAPort is the port using which, the NPA command is sent.
    Note: NPA command is sent using an unsecured channel. The command does not require any authentication method.

  3. Check the progress of the deployment in the DDU status window.
