The aspect ratios for some standard image sizes are shown below. Some digital cameras or imaging devices allow you to
select the aspect ratio of your images. To verify if this option is available, consult your digital camera documentation.
Note
Aspect ratio is not the same as image size.
Drag and Drop Mode
Drag and drop mode can be verified by locating the folder, or file, icon in the lower right corner of the application.
Drag and drop mode monitors certain directories, or folders, for image files. Once image files are detected, those images
are printed on the next available printer for that print size.
Placing an image file in any of the following print size directories results in prints of that print size. The following is the
location of the print size folders:
<InstallDir>\Hot Folder Print\Prints
where <InstallDir> is the directory where the Hot Folder Print application is installed.
 3_5x5 – Location for 3.5x5 print sizes to be sent to appropriate printers.
