The Network Polling Program
The Network Polling program searches a set of directories for print jobs received
over a local network or modem. These directories, called target directories, can
reside on the PlotWorks computer or on any network drive. When Network
Polling finds jobs, it sends them to the Job Queue for automatic processing and
printing.

When using Network Polling , ensure the Job Processor is open. If you do not start
