Creating a Preps Ganging hot folder
Create a hot folder in Preps Ganging to output a ganged layout to the
Prinergy smart hot folder.
For more information and details about automatic ganging, see the
Preps 5.3.2 AutoGang
technical bulletin.
1. In Preps Ganging, click
Preps Ganging
>
Preferences
>
AutoGang
tab, and set the
Root Hot Folder
to a location on your Prinergy
server.
Note: You can define only one root hot folder path for use by all profiles. The
default and custom profiles derive your AutoGang presets, hot folder settings,
and a single root folder path from a special configuration file called
AutoGanging.cfg
.
2. Complete the Preps Ganging Hot Folder set up dialog box, selecting
the output type and location:
○
Output Type
:
JDF
(or
PJTF
if required)
○
Output ganged layouts to <
Smart hot folder path
> as set in
on page
.
3. In the Finder, add PDF files to the hot folder.
4. If you set the hot folder to print manually, you can start Preps
Ganging and review the layouts before clicking
Print
. Otherwise, if
the hot folder is set to print automatically, your files will be moved
to the Prinergy smart hot folder.
