ES3640e MFP EFI Printing Guide - 93

This chapter describes how to use the EFI Hot Folders application

to store and reuse frequently used print options when printing

PostScript and PDF files on the ES3640e MFP.

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 using the print options associated

with that Hot Folder.

Note:After printing original data, you may notice additional

numbers at the end of the original file name.

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 “Creating and deleting Hot Folders” on page 7-95). 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 “Using the

Hot Folder Control Panel” on page 7-94).

File format restrictions

The Hot Folder application supports the printing of PostScript and

PDF jobs. However, if you specify print options that differ from and
