Symptom
When outputting a job from XGW to an Ethernet-based controller, an unexpected file appears in the inbox rather than the expected jbs or lsr file.

Cause
This is caused from unexpected formatting in the xot job name in conjunction with RandomFileNames=1 being set in the Xenetech ini file. In this case, the software will attempt to create the lsr or jbs file with the same name as the XGW job. If the file has extra punctuation (.) before the end of the job name, the software will only create a file that appears with an extension of the three letters trailing the final punctuation mark (.)

Workaround / Resolution
Either rename the job with a name with no intermediary punctuation or set RandomFileNames=0.

More Information 
By setting RandomFileNames=0, the software will output every machine-language file to the engraver as the default file name (usually ethrfile.jbs/lsr).
