Cloud Connectors are download channels for Hot Folders or static folders located on-premise at a printing company site.
Cloud Connectors are typically DFE Hot Folders associated with digital print devices or downstream workflows.
Cloud Connectors require Gateway Connector software to be installed on a on-premise workstation at the tenant site.
The Gateway Connector software is configured by a Kodak Service Specialist to communicate with the Cloud Connector Hot Folders. Once the gateway connection has been installed and Cloud Connectors configured, Prinergy Access users can output directly to on-premise Hot Folders by choosing Submit to... >> Cloud Connector in the Access Job window.
Cloud Connector Hot Folders should be named in a descriptive way, so that print condition parameters such as output intent, colorspace, printer and substrate can be easily identified.
