A hot folder is a shared folder on PRISMAsync which uses the SMB filesharing network protocol. The PRISMAsync supports a maximum of 10 hot folders. Access to the hot folders is protected by a username and password combination. The user name and password are defined by the System Administrator in the Settings Editor.
Users can simply drag & drop PDF files into a hot folder to print the files automatically. An Automated Workflow can be coupled to the hot folder, or a job ticket can be stored in the hot folder. The Automated Workflow or the job ticket define how the jobs must be printed. The job ticket with JDF attributes can be defined using the printer driver.
