Sending to a Specified Directory (Hot Folder)

You can create a print queue that sends files to a specified directory or hot folder. You can choose a local folder or one from the network. For network locations you use a UNC path.

Note: If you select a network location, the Computer account for the server in Active Directory must be given access to the network location on the remote server. Giving a computer account access to a folder is performed the same way as giving a User account access to a folder.

To use a specified directory as your processing method, perform the following:

  1. Select Send to Specified Directory in the Processing pull down menu of the Print Queue Properties dialog box.

  2. Use the Browse for Folder dialog to locate and select the directory.
  3. Click OK.
