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 that is defined for the Hot Folder will be applied.
Configure a Hot Folder, enable [Auto print ], and add documents to the directory to automatically print jobs.
NOTE
Documents found in the Hot Folder will not be added to a job when there are documents manually added to this job.
When you start Océ Publisher Select 3, the files stored in a Hot Folder are not added to a job. The Océ Publisher Select 3 application collects only the new files that arrive in a Hot Folder while it is running.
The files in a Hot Folder must contain more than 4 KB of data to be printed. The files are printed one job per file.
When the job contains an error or a warning, you have to submit the job manually. Solve the error and check the warning first before you can continue printing.
After the print, the file remains in the Hot Folder to be reprinted later on, if needed.
Make sure you regularly clean up the Hot Folders to empty it, or activate the [Always clean up the active Hot Folders] option.

The document is detected by Océ Publisher Select 3. A new job is created for the printer. The template that is defined for the Hot Folder is applied to the added documents. When the job is ready, it is automatically printed.
