      Applies to: Lasernet 11

      Used for sending jobs to a directory.

      The Setup tab of a File Output module.

      Directory Path

      Sets the directory or UNC path where to store files. By default, the maximum length for a path is 260 characters. The filename should not be included.

      A local path is structured as follows: C:\Lasernet\Output\ or \\<Local machine>\<Local path>\

      An extended length path is supported for a maximum total path length of 32,767 characters. To specify an extended length path you can use a prefix: \\?\C:\<Very long local path>\ or \\?\<Very long local path>\

      To support an extended length path for a shared network drive type: \\?\UNC\<Server>\<Path>\

      The directory path can also be stored in a JobInfo. A JobInfo substitution is defined as the value of the directory path, for example: #UNCDirectoryPath#

      When printing to a File Output module the Filename JobInfo attribute sets the filename of the file produced.

      Embed JobInfos into Output File

      It is possible to make the File Output module insert specific JobInfos into the file. This is useful if the file is to be picked up by Lasernet again (the File Input module can collect the embedded JobInfos automatically) or if other programs have support for extracting the data. To enable insertion of JobInfos, select the Embed JobInfos into output file checkbox. The JobInfos will then be placed at the beginning of the file before the contents of JobData.

      The JobInfo keywords can be embedded as #JobInfo Name=Value#. To use this feature, select Write JobInfo tag as #JobInfo Name=Value#.
