Using Hot Folders 87
As soon as the job has been spooled to the Spire CXP6000 color server, it
disappears from the hot folder and enters the Spire CXP6000 color server
Process Queue
or Storage window, according to the selected workflow.
Hot Folder File Formats
Hot folders may contain all PDL formats that are supported by the Spire
CXP6000 color server, PS, PDF, EPS, PRN, VPS, VIPP, PPML, TIF, JPG
and GAP.
Files with unsupported formats that are moved to a hot folder, will not be
imported to the Spire CXP6000 color server and will remain in the hot
folder.
Hot Folders and Brisque or Prinergy jobs (GAP Formats)
When you use hot folders to print GAP jobs, the process is automated and
the job is converted to a PDF, which is displayed in the Spire CXP6000
color server queues. The PDF files can then be programmed and printed as
any other PDF file.
Using Hot Folders from Client Workstations
You can use hot folders to process and print files from any client
workstation. The following procedures explain how to print using hot
folders from Windows, Mac OS 9, and Macintosh OS X.
To print a job using a hot folder from Windows:
1.
On your Windows desktop, double-click the
Network Neighborhood
icon.
2.
Locate your Spire CXP6000 color server.
3.
Double-click the Spire CXP6000 color server.
Note: If you send files for printing through a hot folder while the Spire CXP6000
color server application is down, when the application restarts, the files that
reside in hot folders will immediately be imported to the system.
For more information about supported GAP formats, see Printing PrePress Files -
