Miscellaneous Commands

@<command file name>

Because the command line can become quite long, you can use the at sign (@) followed by the name of an ASCII file to expand the contents of the file into the command line.

/X

Specifies that BarTender automatically exits after all requested functions are performed, but it does not save 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 are performed, BarTender performs an unconditional save of any changes to data that occurred during the print job and then automatically exits.

/XA

Specifies that, after all requested functions are performed, BarTender prompts the user to authorize an unconditional save of any changes to data that occurred during the print job and then automatically exits.

/RUN

Overrides the normal BarTender procedure of determining whether a copy of BarTender already exists in memory. Instead, this option instructs 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 are run by this newly loaded copy of BarTender and are not passed to a previously loaded copy.

/REGISTER

Registers the BarTender automation interface. Registration is normally performed when BarTender is installed, but it may need to be done again if, for example, BarTender was moved from the original installation directory.

This parameter cannot be combined with any other parameters. Any other parameters are ignored.

/MIN[=Taskbar|SystemTray]

Causes BarTender to run in a minimized state. You can specify whether it is minimized in the taskbar or the notification area.

/MAX

Causes BarTender to run in a maximized state.

/NOSPLASH

Causes BarTender to skip the display of its startup screen when it starts.

/?
/HELP

Displays the help topic for the BarTender command-line parameters.
