A Hot FolderA folder found in the Input folder that can be used to automatically process images by copying images into that folder. Each Hot Folder represents a specific Quick Set. is a special folder that automatically assigns Quick Set options to a job. Each Quick SetA group of settings that is applied to images to create jobs in an efficient manner. you create has a corresponding Hot Folder that is automatically created. When RIP-QueueAn organized list of jobs that are printed on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. is running, your Hot Folders are constantly monitored for image files. When an image is placed in a Hot Folder, the image is immediately moved from the Hot Folder to RIP-Queue where the appropriate Quick Set settings are applied, the image is processed, and then printed.

Hot Folders are located in the Input folder of your program files. Because RIP-Queue automatically shares the Input folder, you can copy image files into a Hot Folder from any network system (Windows, Mac, Linux, and so forth).

NOTE: The Info Folder is not a Hot Folder. It is a special RIP-Queue folder that contains the printer configuration settings.
