Hot Folder Printing
What is Hot Folder Printing?
Simply put, hot folder printing is the process of copying one or more images into a designated folder, which lets AirCastPro™II print these images. Hot folder printing can be used with laptops as well desktop computers as well as iOS® and iPad OS® (iOS® version 13 or greater).
Your workflow may need a solution where a photographer needs to regularly download images for print or you may use a photo or imaging app that allow you to save images in a location of your choice. Either way, hot folder printing is the easiest way to move your photos from disk to prints.
Connecting to a Hot folder
- First, be sure to have your printer connected and configured by AirCastPro™II. Feel free to customize your printer settings as needed but be sure to leave the "Create Hot Folder" option selected.
- Next, connect to the AirCastPro shared volume (see the section Network Share Volume for more information).
- When connected, you should see a folder that shares the name of your printer. This is the hot folder associated with that printer. Dragging & dropping one or more images into this folder will begin the process.
For convenience, hot folders can be aliased (Mac OS®) or Mapped as a network drive (Windows).
