Customizing Hot Folder settings
By default, each Hot Folder you create contains the following subfolders:
Fail Folder.
—the default location for storing all jobs that fail to process successfully.
Problems at the printer might cause a job to fail.
Move Folder. —the default location for storing archive copies of all jobs that have
been successfully processed; also referred to as the Keep Original Folder in the Folder
Settings dialog box.
Work Folder. —a private folder used by the Hot Folder while processing a print job.
You can instruct the Hot Folder application to store archive copies of job files in the
Fail and Move folders. You can also specify alternative folder locations for archive
files.
