Bartender command line

[awarnica]

Is there any good help out there for using Bartender from the command line?

If I type:

Bartend.exe

Bartender starts

but if I type:

bartend.exe /f=MyLabelFormat.btw

nothing happens.


thus of course

bartend.exe /f=MyLabelFormat.btw /d=mylabel.txt /p

does nothing as well.

Bartender website isnt super helpful, am I doing something drastically wrong here?

Any help is appreciated.

Try using /F instead of /f in the parameter.

You might also want to try specifying the full path to the filename.

If that doesn't work, I would recommend calling the manufacturer's tech support. They have a good reputation. Sleep is for people with no caffeine.

I the label in the root where bartender is located
Try adding the full path for the label too
such as
bartend.exe /F="C:\labels\MyLabelFormat.btw" DougP, MCP

Put this line in the shortcut tartget.

"C:\Program Files\BarTender\Bartend.EXE" /f="C:\Labels\label.btw" /pd

/f = file you want to open
/pd = show print diaglog

I got it all figured out...

"C:\Program Files\Bartender\Bartender.exe" /f="c:\BartenderFiles\Format1.btw" /prn=zebra /p /d="C:\BartenderFiles\Label.txt"

It must have been a combination of not having the full paths plus not including all of the parameters.

Thanks to all!!
