**MasterFlexD General Settings:**

- **Hot Folder:** Enter the location of the HotfoldersEx directory. (Default is C:\Masterflex\HotfoldersEx, but it should be changed to the actual directory where the images will be saved.)

- **Aspect Ratio Match:** Set this field to the desired ratio. Options are **FillWithCrop** or **FitWithBorder**. Default is **FillWithCrop**.

- **Schema:** Enter the location where the HotfolderEx reference file, *TrxHotFolderOrderSchema.xml*, is located on the Masterflex.

- **Inspect Orders:** Set to **True** if the orders are to be inspected prior to printing (Default is **False**).

- **Apply LDC:** If you want local density control (LDC) to be applied prior to printing, set this option to **True**.

- **Wait For Result File:** Set to **True** if you only want to print when the current order has been completed. (Depending on the setup of the Masterflex software, this may need to be set to **False**).

- **Time Out Seconds:** If the Ethernet connection between the printer and the APM and/or Lab 50 machine is slow, then change this to a higher value from the default of 120.

- **Succeed On Timeout:** Leave as **False**, unless otherwise instructed for troubleshooting purposes.

- **Print Index:** If the index is to be created at the Printer instead of the APM and/or Lab 50 machine, set this option to **True**, and then set the **Index Width** and **Index Height** to the proper sizes (in inches).

- **Debug Mode:** If after changing all of the settings the Masterflex interface does not work, come back to this screen and set to **True**. (Default is **False**.)

- **Back Print:** Used to specify the desired back print format using the case-sensitive parameters listed below. The default is %ORDER%*%ITEM%*(%PRODUCT% %FINISH%)%QTY%

The following is a list of available case-sensitive parameters that may be used:

- **%ORDER%** - Order Number
