HP RIP Software - HP RIP Software User Guide

3-4 Working with Ports
To add a port:
1. Click the port type icon for the type of port to add.
A dialog box appears that asks for a port name.
2. Type a port name, then click OK.
A listing for the new port appears on the Ports home page, and an
icon for the new port appears on the tree view.
In the case of a new Hot Folder, entering a name creates a new
folder on the RIP at the location shown in the next step.
3. If creating a Hot Folder, from the computer running the RIP, share
the Hot Folder.
In order for users to be able to copy files to the Hot Folder you cre-
ated, you must make it available (share) in Windows. If you skip
this step, the folder will not be visible on the network, and will there-
fore be unable to accept files for printing over the network.
Using Windows Explorer, browse to the Hot Folder you created.
The default location is:
C:\Program Files\kodiak\HotFolders\[hotfolder]
where [hotfolder] is the name you specified in the previous
step.
• Windows Vista: on the Sharing tab, click the Advanced shar-
ing button, then click the Share this folder checkbox. Click the

Allow for the Everyone group. Then use the User Manager to
turn on the Guest account (requires Administrator rights).
