Chapter 8:
Using
Hot Folders
This chapter describes how to use the Hot Folders application to store and reuse
frequently used print options when printing PostScript and PDF files on the Fiery.
The Hot Folders application is a feature of the Fiery Graphic Arts Package.
Overview of Hot Folders
A Hot Folder is a special folder to which you can assign a group of print options.
To print a document, drag and drop the document file onto the Hot Folder. The
Hot Folder application routes the job to a corresponding print queue with the print
options associated with that Hot Folder.
You can create as many Hot Folders as you want on your computer. You can also share
Hot Folders with other users on the network by creating shortcuts to the folders from
remote computers.
To begin working with Hot Folders, create one or more Hot Folders, assigning print
options and a print queue to each (see
page 8-4). You can then print jobs by dragging and dropping the document files onto
the corresponding Hot Folders. You can also print a job by printing the document file
from the source application, with the appropriate Hot Folder specified as the print
destination. The Hot Folder Control Panel allows you to manage your Hot Folders
and monitor the status of jobs sent to the folders (see
Panel" on page 8-3).
