Using Hot Folders 37
When you connect from a client workstation to the IC-301 print
controller over the network, you can use the hot folder to submit
PDL jobs to the IC-301 print controller. When you establish a
connection, drag your jobs onto the desired hot folder (according
to the selected workflow).
Jobs that reside in the hot folder will automatically be submitted to
the IC-301 print controller through the corresponding virtual
printer. Consequently, all of the virtual printer job parameters,
inclusive of the workflow, will be applied to the job.
As soon as the job has been spooled to the IC-301 print controller,
it disappears from the hot folder and enters the IC-301 print
controller
Process Queue
or
Storage
area, according to the selected
workflow.
Hot Folder File Formats
Hot folders may contain all PDL formats that are supported by the
IC-301 print controller, PS, PDF, EPS, PRN, VPS, PPML, TIF, JPG
and GAP.
Files with unsupported formats that are moved to a hot folder, will
not be imported to the IC-301 print controller and will remain in the
hot folder.
Tip: You can also drag the hot folder icon to your desktop and create a
short cut to the hot folder.
Note: If you send files for printing through a hot folder while the IC-301 print
controller application is down, when the application restarts, the files that
reside in hot folders will immediately be imported to the system.
Note: 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 IC-301 print
controller queues. The PDF files can then be programmed and printed as any
other PDF file.
