JDF job tickets
When you submit a job using a JDF job ticket, the hot folder input device reads the
job ticket and uses the contents to find the print files and to set properties for the job. The job
is created after all the print files have been found.
The figure Hot folder input device processing with JDF job tickets shows how hot folder input devices process jobs that are submitted with JDF job tickets. The input device accepts job files, processes them based on their batching methods, and sends them to the SubmitInputFiles step.
