Is there a way to store a previous Ripped file that was sent to the printer on your computer.

I am in the process of creating a bunch of kits and I would like the ability to remove all the processed files off the printer then keep them in a folder just for that kit then reload them when needed for production vs having to open up the form file then resend/reprocess it to the printer…

I am USB so Dashboard does not work for me so I can not tell if the dashboard allows this or not… If so I will pick up a longer network cable and hook it up.
