Go to System > System settings and configure printToFilePath property with location to store output job file. The path is relative with working directory set to %SafeQ%\server\temp folder.

  • UNC path or absolute path is not supported

  • it is possible to navigate using parent directory (e.g. set ../../outputFolder to store jobs in %SafeQ%\outputFolder)
