Job submission
Workflow example
1.
The user enables “hot folder” for the queue on FreeFlow Print
Server GUI. For example, the user enables a queue called
“skywalker_PRINT” on the “skywalker” machine.
2.
The FreeFlow Print Server creates an associated Hot Folder
for that queue and an “Error” folder in the Hot Folder.
3.
The FreeFlow Print Server then exports the Hot Folder onto
the network for job submissions. In this example, the user
sees a folder named “skywalker_PRINT” with comments as
“skywalker_PRINT Hot Folder”.
4.
The user then drops several non-XPIF ticket associated jobs
or XPIF pre-pended jobs that are ready to print into a Hot
Folder.
The user wants to use a separate XPIF ticket for a data file
and drops the data file in a specific location on the FreeFlow
Print Server. The user then drops the associated XPIF ticket
into Hot Folder.
For example, the user drops the file called “eightPages.pdf”
into the skywalker_PRINT folder to be printed.
5.
The Hot Folder Observer periodically (every five seconds by
default) observes the hot folder for the presence of a job.
Upon detecting presence of a job, it sends the job to the
FreeFlow Print Server.
6.
When the job successfully completes printing, Hot Folder
Observer deletes the job in Hot Folder.
If a job fails to submit, the Hot Folder moves the job to “Error”
folder.
