Connecting to Hot Folders and Printers

In this section:

1. Connecting to Hot Folders and Printer Hot Folders
   You can submit the jobs received in RICOH TotalFlow Producer to hot folders, printer hot folders, and other directories on your network. You can use TotalFlow Producer hot folders and RICOH Cloud Connector to transfer the files securely.
2. Connecting to Printers
   With a RICOH TotalFlow Producer Advanced or Trial subscription, you can submit jobs directly to printers running in your local network and follow the printing progress. To communicate with the printers, you must install RICOH Cloud Connector along with the RICOH Printer Connector component. The RICOH Printer Connector component is only included in the Windows version of RICOH Cloud Connector.
3. Downloading RICOH Cloud Connector
   You can download the latest version of RICOH Cloud Connector from the Connectors tab in RICOH Account Administration. Download the package onto the server where you plan to install the application.
4. Installing or Updating RICOH Cloud Connector
   After downloading the current version of RICOH Cloud Connector, install it on the server that you identified.
5. Setting up RICOH Cloud Connector
   After you install RICOH Cloud Connector, you must configure it to communicate with RICOH TotalFlow Cloud.
6. Sending Jobs to an EFI Fiery hot folder
   To submit jobs to a printer that uses the EFI Fiery controller, define a TotalFlow Cloud hot folder that transfers jobs to a hot folder defined and managed through the Fiery Hot Folders application.
7. Sending Jobs to a Hot Folder or Directory
   To download jobs to a hot folder that sends them to another application or to any directory in your network, define a TotalFlow Cloud hot folder.
