What Is Hot Folder?

Hot Folder is a utility that allows file types such as PDF and TIFF files to be printed without launching the application (direct print).

On a computer, simply create an icon or folder configured with the job conditions, and then copy files to that folder or drag and drop files to that icon to print the files with the configured job conditions.

As the job conditions are configured in advance, there is no need to configure the print conditions for each file.
