1. Pause the job on the printer control panel.
2. In FastRIP 10, right-click the job and choose Abort.
3. Windows will open a Port Locked dialog. Do not close this dialog.
4. From the printer control panel, reset the printer. If there is no reset button (or procedure for
resetting the printer), then turn the printer OFF. After powering OFF, power the printer ON
after a short pause.
5. Return to the Port Locked dialog and click OK to continue.
At this point, the printer should be ready to process new jobs, and buffer data from the cancelled
job will have been cleared.
Printing to a Hot Folder
e Hot Folder is simply a directory on the workstation hard drive that will be monitored for
new print (i.e., PostScript) files. If any print files are placed in the directory, then these will be
added to the queue as new print jobs.
Typically, the Hot Folder is used by other graphic designers on your computer network. ey
will copy their jobs into the Hot Folder, and your workstation queue will then be able to process
those jobs. However, please note that other graphic designers will need the appropriate file access
permission (as granted by your network administrator) to copy files into the hot folder.
In FastRIP, a hot folder is designated as follows:
1) From the Queue menu, choose Properties.
2) On the Queue Properties dialog, click the Hot Folders tab.
3) Tick the Enable queue hot folder checkbox.
4) A browse dialog will open.
5) Choose a directory and click OK.
When a PostScript job is placed within the hot folder, FastRIP will use print mode settings that
are contained within the PostScript file. If the print mode settings are missing or incomplete,
then the Queue Properties will be used to complete missing settings.
