Once in the hot folder, the images are automatically resized, and the printing process begins immediately. This feature is added as a built-in function within the software update and is not the same as the DNP Hot Folder Print Utility app.

Supported file types are: JPG/JPEG, TIF/TIFF PNG, and BMP. The chart shows all the possible print sizes.

Function options include:

  • Default quantity
  • Paper type
  • Use default borders
  • Partial matte
  • Keep photos in archive for X amount of days

The user may also add a selected background theme, or use an image as a background in addition to the plain background. These features supports standard simplex print sizes. Panorama is currently not supported

 

The Calendar is updated in this release. Selecting the output size and images, rearranging the images, and picking multiple types of styles for calendars have been improved and more intuitive.
