MasterFlexD General Settings:

• Hot Folder: Enter the location of the HotfoldersEx directory. (Default is C:\Masterflex\HotfoldersEx, but it should be changed to the actual directory where the images will be saved.)

• Aspect Ratio Match: Set this field to the desired ratio. Options are FillWithCrop or FitWithBorder. Default is FillWithCrop.

• Schema: Enter the location where the HotfolderEx reference file, TrxHotFolderOrderSchema.xml, is located on the Masterflex.

• Inspect Orders: Set to True if the orders are to be inspected prior to printing (Default is False).

• Apply LDC: If you want local density control (LDC) to be applied prior to printing, set this option to True.

• Wait For Result File: Set to True if you only want to print when the current order has been completed. (Depending on the setup of the Masterflex software, this may need to be set to False).

• Time Out Seconds: If the Ethernet connection between the printer and the APM and/or Lab 50 machine is slow, then change this to a higher value from the default of 120.

• Succeed On Timeout: Leave as False, unless otherwise instructed for troubleshooting purposes.

• Print Index: If the index is to be created at the Printer instead of the APM and/or Lab 50 machine, set this option to True, and then set the Index Width and Index Height to the proper sizes (in inches).

• Debug Mode: If after changing all of the settings the Masterflex interface does not work, come back to this screen and set to True. (Default is False.)
