@<command file name>

Because the command line can become quite long, the @ character followed by the name of an ASCII file will expand the contents of the file into the command line.

/X

Specifies that, after all requested functions have been performed, BarTender will automatically exit, but without saving any changes that may have occurred as a result of any command line actions that were performed or data values that were incremented.

/XS

Specifies that, after all requested functions have been performed, BarTender will automatically exit after first performing an unconditional save of any changes to data that occurred during the print job.

/XA

Similar to /XS, but, if there were changes, asks the user whether or not to perform a save.

/RUN

Overrides BarTender's (version 2.52 and greater) normal procedure of checking for an existing copy of BarTender already in memory. Instead, this option tells BarTender to run itself no matter what, even if it means having a second copy of BarTender in memory. Any other specified command line parameters will be run by this newly loaded copy of BarTender and not passed to a previously loaded copy.

/REGISTER

Registers BarTender's automation interface. Registration is normally done when BarTender is installed, but may need to be done again if, for example, BarTender has been moved from the original installation directory. This parameter cannot be combined with any other parameters. Any other parameters will be ignored.

/MIN[=Taskbar|SystemTray]

Causes BarTender to run minimized. Optionally, specify whether it will be minimized in the taskbar or the system tray.

/MAX

Causes BarTender to run maximized.

/NOSPLASH

Causes BarTender to skip the display of its splash screen when it launches.

/?
/HELP

Displays the help topic for BarTender's command line parameters.
