Learn how to export your files from JobControl® to use them on another workstation, or save them directly onto an external drive. JobControl® files are stored in XML format, and comprise the laser parameters. (Note- these can always be re-imported later.)
Important: If you are using Ruby® laser software, please find instructions on rubyhelp.com.
