Submit Jobs Via Hotfolders - Canon VarioPrint 6000 Series Operation Manual

Submit jobs via hotfolders

Hotfolders enable you to submit print jobs by simply drag & drop printable files onto a shortcut
on your desktop. The job properties are taken over from the automated workflow that is part of
the hotfolder definition or from the JDF ticket that you put in the hotfolder.
It depends on the [Overrule job ticket] function of the automated workflow whether the properties
of the automated workflow or the properties of the job ticket are used.
The system administrator creates the hotfolders on PRISMAsync Print Server and defines the
user authentication for the hotfolders.
The system administrator can define the order in which jobs are printed.
