Before adding files to a hot folder, you must create the hot folder.

Note: This topic is about job hot folders. If you want to work with smart hot folders, see Smart hot folders.

1. Identify the location of the hot folder.
   Most hot folders are inside the job folder at \Jobs\<job name>\HotFolders\<hot folder>, but they can also use a custom location on the network.
2. Perform any of the following actions:
   • Using a file browser, drag-and-drop or copy the files from their original location (for example, a file server) into the hot folder.
   • If applicable, print the files directly from the software to the hot folder.
