Administrator. Right-click on a queue and select Lock or Unlock.
When and how to use Hot Folders
Hot Folders is a job flow productivity option that is mounted, enabled and disabled on your networked PC by the System Administrator.
Use this feature to help organize your print jobs and better manage the flow of these jobs from your PC to the printer. You can create a
Hot Folder for specific types of jobs or for selected users.
When the Hot Folders feature is enabled, the Xerox Nuvera automatically performs all network configurations and exports the Hot
Folder to the network so it is visible to all users. You can then quickly and easily submit print-ready jobs by dragging and dropping them
from your networked PC into the Hot Folder on the network server. The jobs are submitted to a specific queue in FreeFlow Print Server.
Once the job is submitted to the queue, it is printed at a specified polling time and then automatically deleted from the Hot Folder.
To activate and create Hot Folders for a given queue:
To set or change the Hot Folder polling time:
The Hot Folder feature is set to look for jobs on the network and submit them to the FreeFlow Print Server at a specified time. This time
interval can be changed or set from a minimum of 5 seconds up to a maximum of 10,000 seconds. If you are submitting large jobs, or if
the network is slow, set the time to check for new jobs at a longer time interval.
