4. At the password prompt, enter the VMF logical device number,
10.
Optionally, to specify a Job Settings file, append a period (.) and
the Job Settings file name after the logical device number. For
example:
Password: 10.MYSETTINGS2
You are logged in to an FTP session on the imager.
/
TIP: Ensuring you are using the correct logical device and Job Settings file name
When entering a password at the FTP login, the characters are not echoed back to the
screen. To ensure that you are using the correct logical device and Job Settings file, you can
respecify them by entering the cd (change directory) command with the logical device/Job
Settings file name as the command’s argument. For example:
ftp> cd 10.MYSETTINGS2
5. Specify that you want to transfer files in binary mode (also
called the image mode) by entering the following command:
ftp> bin

NOTE: You must use binary mode when sending files to the Horizon imager, even when
sending text files.
6. Before sending a print job, send a Cancel command file to clear
out any data from the previous sheet. (For more information
about VMF command files, refer to “Creating VMF Command
Files” on page 9-19.)
ftp> put cancel.txt
7. Send the Canvas command to define the frame of the sheet, into
which images will be placed. For example:
ftp> put StandardCanvas.txt
8. Optionally, to include a fill area (for example, to create a frame
around an image clip region), send a Fill command file.
