The Generic Hot Folder interface allows the APMor Lab 50 software to convert orders generated from an APM a kiosk or website into a format that can be manually queued in any printer. The Generic Hot Folder interface is one of the few interfaces that work with works for both JPEG and PDF files.
Prerequisites
- The APM and/or Lab 50 machine needs to be able access the Hot Folder drop location (folder), whether it be locally on the machine or across the network.
- If the Lab 50 is not present in the local installation, then at least one or more fulfillments must be enabled to print to a local printer connected to the APM. This is seen in the screenshot on below, taken from the main options of an enabled fulfillment in the Setup Wizard.
