When you create a new Hot Folder, you specify job properties and other settings, determined by the connected Fiery server.

  1. In the Fiery Hot Folders Console, click New to display the Hot Folder Settings window.
  2. Type a name for the Hot Folder in the Folder name field.
  3. Optionally, type a description and details about the Hot Folder in the Description field.
  4. Click Browse, and then specify the folder location.
  5. Click Select to specify and connect to the Fiery server. For instructions, see Connect a Hot Folder to a Fiery server.
  6. Choose the Fiery server queue or action from the Job action menu.

    For more information, see Specify the Job action for a Hot Folder.

  7. Set any of these options:
    • To specify Job Properties (print and imposition settings) for the Hot Folder, choose Define in the Job properties menu.

    • To specify Input Formats (filters and application-specific formats), click Edit next to Input formats.

    • To enable a Preflight check of jobs submitted to the Hot Folder, select Preflight.

      Note: Preflight is not supported for all Fiery servers.
    • To set a time interval between checking for new jobs, click Advanced Settings, then click Custom and type a new time interval.

      If you plan to submit multi-part jobs to the Hot Folder, we recommend that you set this interval to 10 seconds or more. For more information, see Submit multi-part jobs in a folder.
