When you preload BarTender, you start the application by using command-line parameters and instruct it to open an existing BarTender . Enter the following command line to preload a document:
bartend.exe /F=<document file name>
When you use this command line, BarTender stays open so that you easily access and print the document when you want. However, because no print parameter is specified, the BarTender process continues to run without running commands until you manually instruct it to print by using another command line.
When you preload BarTender in this manner, we recommend that you instruct the other program or Windows (depending on your software development tools) to run BarTender "minimized". This places the BarTender screen "in the background" and out of your way. You cannot use a BarTender command-line parameter, because this behavior is fully controlled by the software that is running BarTender.
After you preload a BarTender document, you can print the document by using a separate command-line parameter. For more information, refer to Printing Without Startup Delays.
