When you connect a Hot Folder to a Fiery server, you must also specify a Job action, which determines how the Fiery server handles the job.

1. Select the Hot Folder in the Fiery Hot Folders Console, and then click Edit.
2. In the Hot Folder Settings window, select one of the following from the Job action menu:

   • Device name hold - Sends a job to the Hold queue, where it is spooled to the Fiery server hard disk and held in the queue for printing at a later time.

   • Device name print - Sends a job to the Print queue, where it is processed and printed in the order in which it was received.

   • Device name direct - Sends a job to the direct connection, where it is processed only when the Fiery server is idle. If the Fiery server is busy, the job remains in the queue until the Fiery server is ready. The job is processed as soon as the previous job is finished, before the next queued job is processed.

     Jobs sent to the direct connection cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion, therefore the direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive or confidential files. Jobs sent to the direct connection do appear in the Job Log, for accounting purposes.

     When you choose the direct connection, Job Properties is disabled and Preflight is not available.

   • Process and Hold - Processes a job and then places the processed job in the Hold queue for printing at a later time.

   • Print and Hold - Processes and prints a job, and then places the processed job in the Hold queue for reprinting or later use.

   • Print and Delete - Processes and prints a job, and then deletes the processed job. The job will not appear in the Printed queue.

   • Proof Print - Processes and prints one copy of a job. This job action is useful for checking the job output before printing the number of copies called for in the job.

   • Sequential Print - Processes and prints jobs in the order they are received. This job action is useful for jobs that must be printed consecutively.
