The Output Folder works similarly to the HotFolder Printer Interface used by the Print Server, with the exception that orders are processed directly through Lab 50.
Access Settings > Fulfillment > Output Folder.
On the right panel, the following options are available:
Output orders to this location: The folder path to use as the destination folder for the orders. This may be a local folder on the same hard drive as the installation of Lab 50, a secondary drive, or a network drive.
Warning
Note: If a network drive is used as the destination path, ensure there is adequate disk space and the correct permissions are set for Lab 50 to write and modify the images from the order.
Output orders automatically: Check the box to process the orders automatically once they are received.
Info
Note: Only products that are assigned to print via the Output Folder will be processed automatically.
Output photos: Check the box to enable the Output Folder option. Next, you can specify the folder naming scheme that will be used to place image files into subfolders using the following settings:
Apply templates: By checking this option, the template is automatically rendered with the photo if it is a template based product.
Format image filenames: Use the supported macros listed below to format the image filenames.
%ORDER% - uses for the order number as part of the file name
%ITEM% - Used for the item number and as a unique identifier (and a required macro to prevent the system from overwriting file names).
%QTY% - indicates the QTY ordered for a given image for a given product
%PRODUCT% - includes the Product Name output file name
%FINISH% - includes the Product finish in the output name
%BORDER% - Adds the paper border type to the file name
To add a macro to the Filename format string, simply double click on the macro that you want to insert. An example of the formatted filename string is displayed when you insert or remove a macro.
Use subfolders: This creates a separate folder for each order.
Use the supported macros list below to format the subfolder name. Double-click to insert and display within the subfolder name format.
After making the necessary changes, press Apply Changes or Save and exit.
