Print Page

When you click a BarTender document in the document selection pane in the Print Console view, or when you select a document in the item list pane in the Manage Files view and then click Print on the toolbar, the view changes to the Print page and displays the currently selected printer, the status of the Print Gateway service, the number of items to print, and a preview of the printed item.

Note: The first time that you use BarTender Cloud to print a document, you are prompted to install the Print Gateway service. This service is required for print jobs to be sent to the printer. For more information, refer to About the Print Gateway Service.

The following options are available:

  • Printer: Displays a list of available printers that you can use to print your document.

  • Configure: Opens the BarTender Print Gateway Settings page so that you can configure one or more print servers and the settings for the printers that are connected to BarTender Cloud.

  • Copies: Specifies the number of identical copies to print. The initial value comes from the value that is specified in the selected document.

  • Serial Numbers: Specifies the number of serialized items to print. The initial value comes from the value that is specified in the selected document. Available if serialization is enabled for any data source in the document.

  • Copies per Serial Number: Specifies the number of identical copies to print per serialized item. The initial value comes from the value that is specified in the selected document. Available if serialization is enabled for any data source in the document.

  • Cancel: Cancels the print job.

  • Preview: Opens the Print Preview dialog to display the document as it will appear when it is printed. If the document uses query prompts or data entry forms, those prompts or forms are displayed when you click Preview.

  • Print: Starts the print job.

Note: When documents contain a serialized data source, you might want to configure BarTender Cloud to automatically save the documents after they are printed. When you do this, the serialized value begins with the next number in the sequence the next time you print the document.

To configure BarTender Cloud to save documents after printing, use the Save documents after printing option on the Printing property page.

Administrators can configure BarTender Cloud to automatically return to the Print Console view after a print job runs by selecting Automatically return to Document Selection screen after printing has completed on the Printing property page. For more information, refer to Printing Property Page.
