For example: <program folder>\input\<printer name> or <program folder>\input\<printer name>\Custom Quick Set. 2. The image opens in RIP-Queue, and, depending on your Quick Set Settings, is processed, opened for editing, or printed. Troubleshooting: Do your Permissions include Hot Folders? Is RIP-Queue running?

You can remove read-only restrictions by highlighting the image > right clicking it > selecting Properties > and unchecking the [Read-Only] check box. Are the images valid (supported) image files?
