Defining input devices

In this section:

1. Using supplied input devices
   RICOH ProcessDirector provides several predefined input devices. If your print environment is simple and does not require many input devices, you can modify the properties of the predefined input devices and use them in your environment.
2. Copying input devices
   You can copy an input device so you can use it as a template for creating another input device. Copying input devices can save you time, especially when you need to create several input devices with similar properties.
3. Creating input devices
   When you need an input device that has very different properties from existing input devices, you can create a new one.
4. Setting up hot folder input devices to process batch jobs
   To set up a hot folder input device to process batch jobs, you must configure it to use the appropriate batching method and to recognize the input files.
5. Defining input devices for use with transform features
   You can define a Hot folder input device that you can use to receive input files that need to be sent to the RICOH Transform features or to the Advanced Transform feature for conversion into a different data stream.
