[Hot Folders]

Introduction

A Hot Folder is a directory that is permanently scanned by Océ Publisher Select 3. When the Hot Folder is active, every new document that is found in the directory is automatically added to a job of the corresponding printer. The template defined for the Hot Folder will be applied.

NOTE
  • Both connected printers can have up to five active Hot Folders at the same time.

  • Documents found in a Hot Folder whose setting [Auto print ] is disabled, will not be added to a job when there are documents manually added to this job.

  • You can also set the check frequency of the Hot Folders, see Advanced settings

  • To delete a Hot Folder, click on the delete icon that is displayed on the right hand side of the Hot Folder when you move your mouse over that Hot Folder.

  • When a Hot Folder is in warning, the background color changes to orange.
