HOT FOLDERS
Hot Folders provide a simple and automated method of sending print jobs to the E100 across
the network. The user drops documents into a folder that stores and reuses preset print
options for printing PostScript and PDF files on the E100.
With Hot Folders, you can do the following:
• Create special folders (hot folders) that assign specific print settings and print queues
to jobs.
• Print jobs to the E100 by dragging and dropping them onto hot folders on your
computer’s desktop.
• Monitor the status of jobs sent to hot folders.
Installing Hot Folders
The Hot Folders installer is located on the User Software DVD.
Before installing the utility, make sure that you complete the preliminary procedures
described on page 7.
To install Hot Folders on a Windows computer, see page 8. To install Hot Folders on a Mac
OS computer, see page 10.
Upgrading from a previous version of Hot Folders
Hot Folders includes a migration assistant that detects the previous version of Hot Folders
and upgrades any existing Hot Folders settings to work in the latest version. The migration
takes place only once during the installation of Hot Folders or Command WorkStation. The
Migration Assistant summary window indicates whether or not a hot folder transferred
successfully to the new version, and in case of failure, allows you to retry once during
installation without exiting the Migration Assistant.
