Deploying files to printers

You can deploy the following files to the printer:

• CA Certificates—.cer or .pem files that are added to the printer trust store.

• Configuration bundle—.zip files that are exported from a supported printer or obtained directly from Lexmark.

• Firmware update—An .fls file that is flashed to the printer.

• Generic file—Any file that you want to send to the printer.

  • Raw socket—Sent over port 9100. The printer treats it like any other print data.

  • FTP—Send file over FTP. This deployment method is not supported on secured printers.

• Printer certificate—A signed certificate that is installed on the printer as the default certificate.

• Universal Configuration File (UCF)—A configuration file exported from a printer.

  • Web service—The HTTPS web service is used when the printer model supports it. Otherwise, the printer uses the HTTP web service.

  • FTP—Send file over FTP. This deployment method is not supported on secured printers.
