Hot Folders
Hot Folders provide a simple and automated method of sending print jobs to the imagePRESS Server across the
network. You drag documents to a folder that stores and reuses preset print options for printing PostScript and PDF
files on the imagePRESS Server.
With Hot Folders, you can do the following:
•
Create special folders (hot folders) that assign specific print settings and print queues to jobs.
•
Print jobs to the imagePRESS Server by dragging and dropping them onto hot folders on your computer's
desktop.
•
Monitor the status of jobs sent to hot folders.
Installing Hot Folders
The Hot Folders Installer is on the User Software DVD.
Before installing the utility, make sure that you complete any preliminary procedures.

Upgrading from an earlier version of Hot Folders
Hot Folders includes a Migration Assistant that detects an earlier version of Hot Folders and upgrades any existing
Hot Folders settings to work in the latest version.
The migration takes place only once during the installation of Hot Folders or Command WorkStation. The summary
in the Migration Assistant window indicates whether or not a Hot Folder transferred successfully to the latest
version, and in case of failure, allows you to retry once during installation without exiting the Migration Assistant.
1 Install Hot Folders and allow the Migration Assistant to detect the earlier version.
Note: The Migration Assistant window only appears if an earlier version of Hot Folders is installed. (Earlier
versions include the following: on Windows, all 2.x versions; on Mac OS, all 2.x versions.)
2 Click OK and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: Do not click Cancel when migration is in progress. Canceling the operation may cause permanent damage
to the Hot Folders being upgraded.
